For safety and security reasons, the specifics of his housing will not be released. As for his medical care while in our custody, due to HIPPA, we will not provide specific medical information other than to acknowledge his medical needs are extensive in comparison to an able bodied and fully functioning adult.
Our detention facility has 24-hour on-site medical staff prepared to care for his daily needs and requirements. As with any inmate, in the event his medical needs exceed our staff's abilities, we will seek appropriate medical care outside of our facility.
