At a town hall discussing the state of the Harvey County Jail, Sheriff Chad Gay mentioned that the department also houses Larned State Hospital patients. Brian Huntley, the detention center captain, gave more insight into the reasons for this. Huntley explained that when they receive people who have been arrested, some of them stand out as potentially needing a psychological evaluation. Huntley said this is normally up to the attorney assigned to the person to flag and ask for an evaluation in court.
