    Abstract:
    The authors compiled demographic, psychiatric, and criminological information on persons who were held on warrants of the Lieutenant Governor in Ontario. These warrants were vacated between the period 1969-1982. Of the entire population of 296 such persons, 46% were held as being Unfit to Stand Trial, 51% were Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity, and the remainder were Mentally Ill prisoners. Separate analyses were conducted with the Unfit sample. The average length of confinement on a warrant was 7 years.
