High Court orders release of Huntington's patient to care facility due to dangerous behavior in prison.

A 30-year-old man with Huntington's disease, a condition causing severe cognitive decline, will be moved to a care facility upon his release from prison. The High Court ordered the move due to his deteriorating condition and inability to communicate effectively, which led to four assault attempts on prison officers. The man, who faces assault charges, is considered dangerous due to his impulsiveness and the unsuitability of the prison environment for his needs.
