the patient and his family. In conjunction
with the Outpatient Clinic, the Institution
operates a Halfway House at the same lo-
cation. This residential unit provides hous-
ing and supportive services for parolees who
have inadequate personal or family re-
sources to support them in the community.
Additionally, the Institution houses all pre-
parole patients in a newly constructed Pre-
Release Center located on the grounds of
the Institution. This new forty bed facility
is staffed by a trained social worker and
officer-counselors who provide continuous
counseling and supervision.

The Institutional Board of Review,
created by Chapter 629, Acts of 1961, is
charged with reviewing and thoroughly re-
examining every patient confined as a De-
fective Delinquent not less than once in
every calendar year. This Board makes
recommendations for future status and
treatment of each patient and is authorized
to grant leaves or paroles to patients when
it is determined that society and the patient
would benefit from such status. This Board
sets the terms and conditions of any such
leave or parole, and may revoke same at
any time. In addition, this Board makes
recommendations to the Court of proper
jurisdiction for the termination of the in-
determinate sentence of defective delin-
quents when it believes that the patient is
sufficiently improved to warrant his uncon-
ditional release from custody and return to
the community. Chapter 392, Acts of 1970
modified the procedures for making reex-
amination so as to permit procedures and
tests not used in the original determination |
