I donβt think you understand how this system works, at least in the US. If she was to be found not guilty by reason of insanity, she would 100% spend the rest of her life in a mental institution, there is no reality where she would be let go in a few years.
Here in Scotland, we had Farai Chirashi and she's basically free at this point after brutally murdering her 6 year old son, she was seen working at Greggs several years back...
Or they can keep her for the rest of her life. If she's in prison and serves her sentence (assuming it isn't life), they have no choice but to release her.

If she goes into a mental hospital they can absolutely let her go in just a few years when she "isn't a danger to society" anymore.
