any reason that the said person is not a proper person to be given
custody or treatment in the Institution, it shall return the said per-
son to the penal institution in which he, or she, was last confined, or
to the custodial officer having him, or her, in custody, and the warden
or other custodial officer shall accept the said person under the terms
