Abstract
Despite his acquittal, a person found not guilty by reason of insanity may be confined for purposes related to criminal law rather than civil commitment. In discussing the differences in release procedures between the civil committee and the person found not guilty by reason of insanity, the writer argues that the justifications for such distinctions are not compelling and concludes that the distinctions raise the possibility of a violation of equal protection.
