Nobody gets off on temporary insanity, believe me. I worked as a psychiatric nurse on a Forensic unit (criminal court commitments) for 15 years. The ones that were truly psychotic were sent to Farview and the ones that were psychotic but eventually were tried because they were in remission, were sent to the penitentiary. I worked at a penitentiary after transferring from the forensic unit, and saw many of my old patients. Many of them destabilized in prison and had to be sent to Farview. Either option kept them from being released, prematurely, if indeed, they ever got out.
