Jervis came to us on January 27th, ironically or perhaps coincidentally the same day as the birth of author Lewis Carroll, the creator of the Alice books; more particularly the Mad Hatter character. Sigh. First clowns, then birds, cats, puzzles, and now story characters. Is nothing sacred in Gotham? But I digress. Jervis like many inmates here in Arkham has been highly difficult to treat. I can conclude that due to his poor self image, he truly believes himself as the Hatter character. Not only that, but he even sees a few staff members in Arkham as characters from the Wonderland books. From Marcus as one of the two Tweeds, Professor Strange is some twisted form of the Blue Caterpillar, but above them all is Dr. Chase Meridian who appears to be Alice to Jervis, and even more so when she personally sought to his needs, beginning with that private tea party she hosted for him. It was a week prior to the party that Professor Strange and I questioned the rumors spread about by his coworkers back at Wayne Enterprise. A rumor which involved...well let's just say children or rather young girls. To say that we had touched a huge nerve is an understatement, his outburst was outrageous to say the least. Since then, he not only became uncooperative towards Hugo, myself, and a few other doctors, but he seemed to only care to speak to Dr. Meridian. Perhaps we should have payed attention to this obsession before it grew out of control. What still perplexes me is how on Earth he managed to gain access to his mind control technology in the first place. But all I know now is that he is now serving solitary confinement for his escape, mind controlling half of the guards, and for his kidnapping of Dr. Meridian to live out a twisted fantasy brewing in his mind.
