ASH is located on the California Central Coast. It's the largest free standing forensic mental hospital in the world. It house several prison and civil committemnts including PC-1370 (incompetent to stand trial) , MDO, Mentally Disordered Offender, PC-1026 (Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity), and WIC-6600 (Sexually Violent Predators). There's a funny but insightful book called 'The Sweet Smell of ASH in the Morning' if you curious and have a good sense of humor. Although I've seen it and wouldn't let kids read it!
