MARYLAND MANUAL 99
is defined as "an individual who, by the demonstration of persistent
aggravated antisocial or criminal behavior, evidences a propensity
toward criminal activity, and who is found to have either such intel-
lectual deficiency or emotional unbalance, or both, as to clearly dem-
onstrate an actual danger to society so as to require such confinement
and treatment, when appropriate, as may make it reasonably safe for
society to terminate the confinement and treatment." Sentences under
Article 31B are for indeterminate duration, subject to the order of
the Institutional Board of Review or the Courts. The Institution offers
complete medical, psychiatric, psychological, and social casework serv-
ices. In addition the institution is equipped and staffed for complete
academic, vocational, recreational, and religious service.
In addition to patient care, the Institution carries on extensive re-
search studies concerning treatment, diagnosis, education, and related
studies.
