If a criminal judge rules that an individual is incompetent and orders them to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, but the person remains incarcerated, this situation could lead to legal complications. The individual may be held in contempt of court if they refuse to comply with the judge's order for treatment, or if jail officials fail to facilitate the transfer to the psychiatric facility. In such cases, the judge may need to address the delays or issues surrounding the transfer to ensure the individual's rights are upheld. Ultimately, the court may take further action to resolve the situation, including potential sanctions against those responsible for the lack of compliance.
