He had a little tablet that he could get movies on. But for some reason, his tablet never worked for movies. He ate all of his meals in his cell by himself. He didn't even get to go to the cafeteria.

He must have raised his hand and said, I want to be reevaluated for competency. And again, this also this time, like I'm advocating more and like talking to his lawyer and saying, I begged them not to move him from a psychiatric hospital. I begged them. I said, it's not right. This is where he's gotten well. He's about to go through a very stressful time. He needs support.

Those supports are not going to be in the jails. You know, I was on the phone with the director of clinical services. I was on the phone with the state hospital. I was just talking to anyone I could talk to because I know that some people have been able to stay in the psychiatric hospital, but I don't know what the magic button is. No one is telling me what the magic button is.

I know he was unhappy. When he got to the jail, he asked me, please just don't meddle too much because this is jail and I don't want to be like retaliated against because you're being, you know, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke. I respected his wishes and I really like laid off. The family engagement person at the jail just kind of irked me within the first week anyways.

When I emailed her asking her questions, she flat out told me, please don't email me this much. I am only one person. Just call me. And I was like, can you say that? Like, don't email you. So I talked to the director of medical services at the jail once. She was very nice, but didn't really get anywhere with it.

But it's hard to stay hopeful in these situations.
