Explanation:

In legal terms, commitment refers to the orders from the court to hold/incubate someone in a certain place before they conduct the trial.

For mentally healthy offenders, commitment is usually directed to prison/jail.

But for offenders with high suspicion of mental disorders, commitment is usually directed to an institution. This institution will provide additional measures to accommodate the mental disorder (such as mattress covered walls to prevent the offenders from hurting themselves and wide variety of drugs to manage the disorder)
