Sex offenders may be committed to a hospital or treatment facility before serving their full prison term as part of their sentencing, in order to receive treatment for their offenses. This is known as civil commitment. While other types of criminals may also receive treatment while in prison, they are not typically committed to a hospital or treatment facility before their full prison term is completed.
