This program is designed to act as a triage for defendants who have been determined to be incompetent to stand trial (IST) by the courts and have been sentenced to a State Hospital for restoration. All incarcerated people admitted to the AES program will be evaluated by AES Clinical staff to determine if: • The defendant is malingering and can be returned to the court process. • The defendant can be restored to competency in the AES program. • The defendant is not treatable in the AES program and requires a transfer to a State Hospital.
