The Center for Forensic Psychiatry is a psychiatric hospital located in Saline, Michigan that is operated by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The hospital specializes in forensic psychiatry and houses and treats mentally ill individuals who have been charged with a crime but are incompetent for trial, have been deemed not guilty by reason of insanity, or are civilly committed (with or without criminal charges) but deemed too difficult for other state hospitals.[1][2]
