The Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center is the
State's only maximum security hospital. Formally
established in 1959 as Maximum Security Hospital,
it was assigned to the jurisdiction of the Depart-
ment of Mental Hygiene. In April 1960, the Hos-
pital was renamed to honor Dr. Clifton T. Perkins,
Commissioner of Mental Hygiene from 1950 to
1959 (Chapter 814,Acts of 1959). Dr. Perkins had
planned and defined the function of the Hospital
but died before it opened early in 1960.
The Center treats patients referred by the courts
of Maryland for pretrial psychiatric evaluation. It is
a residence for individual offenders who have been
found not guilty by reason of insanity. The Center
also serves as a hospital for prisoners who become
mentally ill and require involuntary psychiatric hos-
pitalization. Prisoners are committed to the Center
for an indefinite length of time and only can be
released upon the authorization of a judge. From
other State psychiatric hospitals, the Center also
accepts patients whose illness requires maximum
security treatment for a period of time. The Center
is funded to serve a daily average of 250 patients
(Code Health—General Article, sec. 10-406).
