That doesn't mean what you think it means.
It means she's been declared a ward of the state. That's life. Slightly better than prison, but not by much. There's no statute of limitations on crimes that end in "not competent". You go a mental facility until you either die or recover enough to stand trial.
Won't it be released in a year or two due to "overcrowding"?
Nope. There's been no sentence so there's no release date to shorten.
Trust me on this, I know from family experience. Declared mentally unfit to stand trial is quite frankly the worst hell in the first world. It doesn't end. Ever.

I will bet your family is white. The rules are different for them. This useless nigger will be back on the streets before you know it. She can't do the bidding of her masters inside a loony bin.
I assure you she won't.
When a person is declared a ward of the state, some bureaucratic things happen to your identity. You can't get a drivers license. You can't open a bank account. You can't get a credit card. You can't open an insurance policy. Can't buy a car. Can't hold real property.
Your rights evaporate. You are a child. The property of the state until either the state finds you competent to be a legal adult again, or you die.
That is what "ward of the state" means.
A prisoner has more rights than a ward. A prisoner can demand to speak to their lawyer, and subject to visiting hours, has the right to do so. A ward can scream about a lawyer 24-7-365 and the state can ignore them.
