He was diagnosed as having schizoaffective disorder with bipolar tendencies and was committed to the Psychiatric Ward of Fox River, where he earned the nickname “Haywire”. He also has a fear of crowds. While talking to Haywire, Mahone said to him, “I know you killed your parents because they hurt you, and I know you killed that guy Yesterday because he was hurting Sasha, but what you did… It was wrong.” This statement shows that Charles lived in an abusive house-hold, which could have been the main contributing factor for his mental illness.
