Travis was jailed on charges that he broke into his father’s home to steal food. His family often found him delusional. He said that he could hear voices, and he believed that a tiny robot had been implanted under his skin. One day, his father returned home to find the front door broken, and he called the police. Even though his father did not want his son to be arrested, the police took him to jail and charged him with a class B felony. Travis languished in jail for 18 months until a judge, found him incompetent to face trial. During his incarceration, Travis refused to comply with many of the rules, and once he threw his plate of food at a guard, earning him time in solitary confinement. During the year and a half that he was incarcerated, his delusions increased, and he received very little mental health treatment.
