Criminally insane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Criminally insane refers to a legal standard in most countries, where the motive for murder or grievous bodily harm is insanity. Criminal insanity has long been portrayed in movies and books as the primary motive for violent acts, despite the majority of murders being committed as acts of frustration rather than pleasure. They don't understand the rules of either straight society or of criminal subcultures and are thus doubly shunned, and paradoxically free. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Criminally_insane   (309 words)

Arkham Asylum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a mental hospital that appears in the fictional DC Universe. Originally, Arkham Asylum was used only to house genuinely insane characters - the Joker and Two-Face were inmates from its very first appearance - but over the course of the 1980s a trend was established of having the majority of Batman's supervillain opponents end up at Arkham, whether or not they were actually insane. Even a former Arkham employee is now an inmate; psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel went insane and turned to crime, as the loony Harley Quinn, after the Joker, then her patient, seduced her and enlisted her as his sidekick. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Arkham_Asylum   (1885 words)

80 Wn.2d 28, THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. WILLIAM E. BLUBAUGH, Appellant THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Appellant, ... In a proceeding under RCW 10.76.070, for release of a criminally insane person, the standard or guideline for release is in terms of probability of future criminal behavior, rather than whether the applicant has established elements for release beyond a reasonable doubt or by a preponderance of the evidence. Defendant was charged with second-degree murder and the trial court, sitting without a jury (defendant had waived a jury trial), found that she had committed the crime as charged, was insane at the time the crime was committed and at the time of trial, and that she was an unsafe person to be at large. It reasoned that since the criminally insane are entitled to a commitment hearing similar to that given the mentally ill, they should be governed by a similar release procedure. www.mrsc.org /mc/courts/supreme/080wn2d/080wn2d0028.htm   (3024 words)

39 Wn.2d 241, THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Plaintiff and Relator, v. JULIAN TUGAS, Defendant A person committed as an insane person cannot be deprived of all judicial remedy looking to his discharge; hence, if there be no statutory judicial remedy, habeas corpus is necessarily the proper judicial remedy. It is chapter 30 of the Laws of 1907, "AN ACT relating to the criminal insane, their trial, commitment and custody." The first four sections are found as Rem. Our first concern is whether the defendant in category (b) can secure a discharge from the criminally insane ward at the penitentiary "as hereinafter provided," that is, under the provisions of § 6 of that chapter, being Rem. www.mrsc.org /mc/courts/supreme/039wn2d/039wn2d0241.htm   (1403 words)

Jamaica to establish psychiatric prison for criminally insane - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM PRISON keepers are finalising a new plan to transform Tamarind Farm, a medium security correctional facility, into a psychiatric prison for the criminally insane and other mentally ill inmates, but are keeping mum on the cost and full details of the project. In the more advanced countries like Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, the criminally insane are institutionalised in forensic psychiatric hospitals, which are separate facilities from the formal prisons. The various plans follow on reports of persons who have been lost in the system, some for decades, who were initially deemed unfit to plead to criminal indictments, and whose cases never came back up for review in the courts. www.jamaicaobserver.com /news/html/20051217T200000-0500_94844_OBS_JAMAICA_TO_ESTABLISH_PSYCHIATRIC_PRISON_FOR_CRIMINALLY_INSANE.asp   (1432 words)

Centerforce - News & Landmark Reports Because the state's "three strikes law" encourages defendants to plead insanity when facing lengthy prison sentences, the number of criminally insane patients at Napa State Hospital, for example, has "more than doubled" since 1995.

There, "patient-on-patient assaults have become a near daily experience" and the hospital's "tiny staff... cannot control the violent inmates." The hospital's "inadequate operating budget" and "dangerous conditions" have caused it to "fail to attract skilled psychiatric professionals," leaving a staff that has "only minimal experience and the most rudimentary training in handling the criminally insane."
