Quick Glance: Repetitive Competency Treatments in Colorado Lead to Lengthy Incarcerations
  • Hundreds of people in Colorado are stuck in an endless cycle of competency process, resulting in lengthy incarcerations.

  • Those who cycle through competency treatment often end up warehoused in jails, unable to access needed mental health care, and stuck in the legal system.

  • Colorado’s competency process is designed to protect the constitutional rights of mentally ill or developmentally disabled people by ensuring they are not prosecuted for crimes when too sick or disabled to understand the court process and defend themselves.

  • Criminal prosecutions are paused while defendants go through treatment aimed at restoring them to competency so their cases can continue.
