Transfer of high security patients to AMHI discussed in Augusta
Mental Health and Corrections Commissioner John Rosser told a legislative committee that about eight high security risk patients could be moved from Bangor to Augusta within the year pending approval from Governor Longley and the Executive Council. AMHI now houses roughly 70 percent of court committed patients and is credited with strong security. Rosser noted one problematic patient already relocated and two others who would not be moved, including a recent escapee. He cited staffing and unit separation as possible factors for Augusta’s better security record. Rosser also planned meetings on Bangor Institute cost savings and potential program cuts to trim taxpayer spending.

The report recommends legislation requiring physicians to examine deaths in nursing homes and notes cases where wrongful embalming occurred before inquiry.
