“[c]onditional releases accompanied by judicial and psychiatric supervision”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Hill v. State · State v. Leonardis““Throughout the period of conditional release, it is imperative that the trial court maintain frequent contact with the patient and supervising psychiatrists. To facilitate this burden of responsibility, the trial judge should require regular and continuous reports to a court appointed probation officer both from the psychiatrists to whom the patient is reporting and from the patient himself. The court must retain jurisdiction over the proceeding. This retention of jurisdiction is essential to enable the authorities to return the patient to the state hospital for psychiatric care immediately upon being notified that some problem has arisen which jeopardizes the safety and well being of the patient or those around him. The ability of the trial judge to immediately recall the patient in a summary fashion is crucial to the court’s ability to protect the public from harm.” 316 A.2d at 463 . (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. Zion v. Xanthopoulos“[t]he basis for his confinement is rehabilitation and treatment. Any standards for release must be based on this nature of commitment, given the overriding concern for the public safety. Any consideration of punishment has no place in a proceeding on the question of conditional release. There has been no criminal act to punish.... There is no criminal to incarcerate. There is, however, a patient to be treated.”
