| 0:00.0 | So Rebecca, you got a question for me. |
| 0:02.3 | Yeah. |
| 0:03.1 | A client came with this question for me, and I had part of the answer, but I thought you would have a better answer. |
| 0:10.2 | So their question was someone I know was arrested. |
| 0:15.0 | Instead of going to jail, they went to Western State, a psychiatric hospital here in Stilicum, Washington, is that something that |
| 0:22.9 | just kind of happens? |
| 0:24.3 | And I was like, no, that's, it's really hard to get in the Western state. |

| 1:27.1 | So those are typical vectors to get you |
| 1:30.9 | into Washington State Hospital. And like how many professionals would evaluate you? Oh, in my head, |
| 1:38.4 | anecdotally, with the limited experience I have, it's, you know, it's two or three by the time you're |
| 1:43.1 | actually officially incarcerated you know because you |
| 1:46.5 | have the initial evaluation and then there might be a trial and there might be another evaluation |
