The Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center was

ent name in 1960. Designed to provide active
treatment programs within a setting of maximum
security, the hospital is located midway between
Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

The hospital receives patients who are referred
by the courts of Maryland for pretrial psychiatric
evaluation. It provides a residential service for in-
dividual offenders who have been found to be not
guilty by reason of insanity, as well as hospital-
ization for inmates of penal institutions who be-
come mentally ill and require involuntary psychi-
atric hospitalization. In addition, the hospital
accepts transfer patients from other State psychi-
atric hospitals when their illness requires maxi-
mum security treatment for a period of time. The
hospital is designed for a capacity of 246 (Code
