Sabina and Ursula Eriksson, Mad Twins?

Some patients even refuse to let the hospital inform their nearest relative. - No worries, but I don't thing prisons are that sensitive to the needs of their 'customers.'

Prisoners transferred to psychiatric hospitals become restricted patients, not prisoners. Hospitals are very picky about not breaching the patient's rights to confidentiality. She might not have been eligible for s 37/41 (sent straight to hospital instead of prison) at the time of sentencing, but she could easily have been s 47/49 (transferred from prison to hospital) at a later date if she started to act up.

Anyway, it appears to be a moot point for educational purposes only as Sabina was apparently released on parole in 2011, which suggests she stayed within the prison system.
