Insanity Acquittees

The United States Supreme Court's decision making on the Jones v. United States issue of an insanity acquit tee's disposition, when his mental hospitalization exceeds his maximum prison sentence if convicted, is analyzed from the perspective of relevant behavioral science research. The Court's “common sense” that insanity acquittal reflects a likelihood of remaining mentally ill and in need of treatment is not sustained by the available empirical evidence. The Court's assertion of no necessary correlation between acquittee offense severity and length of recovery is also belied by the available research. The Supreme Court has ratified social judgments concerning insanity acquittees rather than utilizing available behavioral research to make more rational policy determinations. The statistically insignificant insanity acquittal disposition could be assessed from a more informed perspective.

Forty-six defendants adjudicated “not guilty by reason of insanity” (NGRI) between 1965 and 1971 were matched with a comparable group of defendants who had committed the same criminal act, pled guilty, and were imprisoned. Results indicated that: (1) as a group, the institutionalization time of NGRI acquittees did not differ significantly from the felons although institutionalization time did differ for specific offense categories; and (2) postinstitutional arrest rates of the NGRI and felon subjects were quite similar.
