The porn impresario, who this week finishes a 45-day sentence for criminal contempt, also told Dr. Ronald Markman that he was being housed with "all murderers" in his section of the Bay County lockup.
Markman, hired by Francis's defense team, interviewed the 34-year-old late last month and drafted the below report, which was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Nevada. Markman concluded that while Francis was "clinically stable," he demonstrated "significant psychiatric issues" for which he has shunned treatment due to embarrassment.
During a two-hour interview, the inmate appeared to minimize his drug and alcohol use, Markman concluded. Francis denied using pot, claimed to have tried cocaine only a few times, and said he had one drink per week. (WHAT COMPLETE B.S.!!! I'm sure many can attest to his drinking and weed use. Once a liar, always a liar!) He also copped to trying mushrooms.
The psychiatric report was included in a defense filing seeking to have Francis expeditiously transferred from the Florida jail to Reno, Nevada, where he is to soon be arraigned on a federal indictment charging him with tax evasion.
"…he did, however, express a potential for suicidal activity if his incarceration is prolonged. (Just like a little boy…if I don’t get my way I’ll hold my breath until I’m blue! Keep holding that breath, Joe. Throwing out suicidal threats won’t get you anywhere.)
There was no evidence of a psychotic process or thought disorder, though he demonstrated a rather authoritative demeanor. Judgment was generally adequate, though he acknowledged a lack of patience and understanding with the recent events that led to his incarceration. There was some evidence of social immaturity, while insight to his situation was rather marginal.
Based on this initial evaluation, I would make a preliminary diagnosis of:
AXIS I: Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder vs. Bipolar Disorder vs. Cyclothymic Disorder. Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety vs. Anxiety Disorder. R/O Polysubstance Abuse.
AXIS II: Personality Disorder, NOS (Not otherwise specified), with Immature Narcissistic Features
While Francis petitioned to be allowed to travel from Florida to Nevada via commercial airliner, that request was rejected last week by a federal magistrate judge. Instead, Francis, who usually travels via Lear jet, will fly cross-country on "ConAir", the no-frills (and often circuitous) prisoner transport service operated by the U.S. Marshals Service.
