Movies @ the LibraryMovies @ the LibraryNCR: Not Criminally ResponsibleTuesday January 286:30pm to 8:00pm
There has been a quiet revolution in recent years in the treatment of people with mental disorders who commit an act of violence . Not long ago such patients would almost certainly have been considered hopelessly deranged and dangerous, and confi ned to an “asylum for the criminally insane” for life.
Not anymore. Today people declared not criminally responsible are frequently being released back onto the streets, a number of them potentially extremely dangerous men and women, not only suicidal but homicidal. Most are incurable.
While gripped by psychosis, a troubled young man stabs a complete stranger six times. Declared not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder, the young man is confi ned to a forensic mental health institution. Twelve years later, his victim is terrifi ed to learn that he is living in the community under supervision.
