Common ways for offenders to be placed in CONREP include: * Mentally Disordered Offenders can be placed in CONREP by the Board of Prison Terms instead of the court. * Offenders found "[[not guilty by reason of insanity]]" can be placed in CONREP by filing a petition for restoration of sanity and winning at the hearing. * Offenders found "not guilty by reason of insanity" or "[[incompetent to stand trial]]" because of a serious felony must spend six months in a state [[mental hospital]] before transfer to CONREP.<ref>{{Cite web \|url=http://www.disabilityrightsca.org/pubs/517001.htm \|title=Disability Rights California: FAQs about CONREP \|access-date=2013-10-03 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130502124954/http://www.disabilityrightsca.org/pubs/517001.htm \|archive-date=2013-05-02 \|url-status=dead }}</ref> Line 18: *[https://web.archive.org/web/20070928094653/http://www.ncrj.org/Rodriguez/Long.html Elizabeth S.
