Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals housed in an asylum for the criminally insane typically include those found not guilty by reason of insanity or deemed incompetent to stand trial, reflecting a direct link between their mental state and their legal situation. A convicted offender who unsuccessfully attempted the defense of not guilty by reason of insanity would not be housed in such an asylum because their conviction implies the court did not accept their insanity defense, thus they would serve their sentence in a regular prison unless specific circumstances warrant a transfer to a mental health facility.
