treatment and release of insanity acquittees  

Définition

  • For more than one and a half centuries, from the first insanity defense commitment of John Hadfield in England in 1800 through the mid-1960s, insane defendants (those not guilty by reason of insanity, or NGRIs) were automatically and indefinitely committed to a secure psychiatric facility until the state determined that they could be released. Until the mid-1960s, most were never released regardless of their crime. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Treatment and Release of Insanity Acquittees]
