Title: Standardizing Protocols for Treatment to Restore Competency to Stand Trial: Interventions and Clinically Appropriate Time Periods

Summary: The Washington State Institute for Public Policy (Institute) was directed by the 2012 Legislature to “study and report to the legislature the benefit of standardizing treatment protocols used for restoring competency to stand trial in Washington, and during what clinically appropriate time period said treatment might be expected to be effective.” Data from Western State Hospital and Eastern State Hospital were examined to determine typical length of stay for defendants deemed incompetent and remanded for restoration. This report then summarizes the literature on treatment protocols used to restore defendants to competency throughout the United States and the literature on the time periods for restoration. Finally, the report summarizes the 2011-12 recommendations of the National Judicial College’s Best Practices Model.
