In 1985 Connecticut established an administrative psychiatric security review board to monitor the postverdict disposition of defendants found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. The five-member board may confine an insanity acquittee in a mental hospital, grant temporary leave, order conditional release, and terminate confinement or conditional release. Judicial review is required before a patient is discharged from the board's custody. Between 1985 and 1989, a total of 173 insanity acquittees were under the board's jurisdiction; most were hospitalized in state psychiatric facilities. The authors discuss issues that must be addressed in creating a psychiatric security review board, including the conflict between protecting the public and treating insanity acquittees, clinicians' resistance to treating these patients, and problems posed by patients who do not appear to be mentally ill or who are well known to the public.
1985年，康涅狄格州设立了一个行政性的精神病安全审查委员会，以监督因精神疾病或缺陷而被判定无罪的被告在判决后的处置情况。这个由五名成员组成的委员会可以将被判定为精神错乱无罪的人关押在精神病院，批准临时离开，下令有条件释放，并终止关押或有条件释放。在患者从委员会的监管中出院之前，需要进行司法审查。1985年至1989年期间，共有173名被判定为精神错乱无罪的人在该委员会的管辖之下；大多数人被收治在州立精神病设施中。作者讨论了在设立精神病安全审查委员会时必须解决的问题，包括保护公众与治疗被判定为精神错乱无罪的人之间的冲突、临床医生对治疗这些患者的抵触情绪，以及那些看似没有精神疾病或为公众所熟知的患者所带来的问题。
