Catherine Carlson, arrested in Payette last month for setting fire to the trailer where she lived and placing what looked like four pipe booms on her stoop, was moved in late July from isolation in the Payette County Jail to the Idaho State Hospital in Orofino where she remains for an undetermined period of time.
Payette County Prosecutor Anne-Marie Kelso told CityDesk that although she could not talk specifically about Carlson because of medical privacy laws, explained that when a judge commits someone it is because the court suspects mental illness and the defendant is likely to hurt themself or others.

"You want to know why this mobile home went up in flames?" asked Carlson. "It went up in flames because they wouldn't transfer it into my name and the reason why is because I don't have an I.D., and I don't have an I.D. because they are insisting that they keep that a.k.a."

I feel bad for her. She sacrificed everything to get heard.

I apologize now to all my friends and family here that may be insulted by my next comment.
But what does one expect from a state that is just as bad as Texas. She was at the end of her rope. Yes, she could have left her home and moved, but why? They are just trying to run her out of town. All they had to do was issue a new drivers license in her name and not link it to an a.k.a..

Once she is out of the hospital it is almost certain she will be convicted - Idaho has not had to deal with a Post Op in prison before. That will most likley add another chapter to what is already a rather long and sad story because I bet they will try to stick her in with the men or into isolation, then it will become a lawsuit, and so on.
