Montana State Hospital

Today the census averages under 200 patients, primarily placed by civil court commitment action.

The facility also includes a forensic unit for individuals who have either been found mentally ill or are undergoing evaluation while unfit to proceed.

Exceptionally violent patients may also reside on the forensic unit regardless of criminal charges.

The hospital grounds include a large cemetery, home to at least 3260 graves.

The hospital severely restricts access so these graves have not been photographed nor completely listed.
