The Center for Forensic Psychiatry, located at 8303 Platt Road in Saline, Mich., is seen on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2017. Competency cases for mentally ill defendants move through the Michigan criminal justice system slowly because of a difficulty finding space at the state psychiatric facility. MLive reports a November list from the Department of Health and Human Services shows that there were 110 defendants awaiting mental health treatment. Many defendants on the list wait an average of three to four months for treatment. State health department officials say they’re working to address the problem.
