People found not criminally responsible are subject to annual reviews where board members decide on privileges.

The review board system lets those people into the community — once they’re deemed ready — for short periods of time under close supervision. If they do well, they can be granted more privileges at subsequent hearings. If not, the review board can order tighter supervision.

The review board can also order an absolute discharge for a person found not criminally responsible. Absolute discharges are granted only when the board finds the person is not a “significant threat” to public safety.
