Judge rules for strict limits on some Oregon State Hospital stays

Date

A federal judge has decided that the Oregon State Hospital must impose strict limits on how long it treats patients who have been accused of crimes but in need of mental health treatment.

The ruling by Judge Michael W. Mosman seeks to ease the state psychiatric hospital’s overcrowding, speed the admission of new patients and prevent people awaiting admission from languishing in jail.
