Mentally ill individuals who have committed a crime
I am translating a legal text on mentally ill individuals who have committed a crime. The text is from Argentina.
The text mentions that these individuals are subject to medidas de seguridad. Mentally ill individuals are not sent to prison but to mental institutions.
Is there a specific term in English to identify these measures?

Treatment Orders (for the criminally ill)
I don't believe "security measures" really reflects what "medidas de seguridad" means in this context: court orders for persons deemed mentally ill. As examples, here are some of the possible treatment orders that can be applied in Spain:
--“medidas privativas de libertad”-- custodial treatment orders
--“internamiento en un centro psiquiátrico”-- commitment to a psychiatric facility
--“internamiento en un centro de deshabituación”-- commitment to a rehabilitation facility
--“internamiento en centro educativo especial”-- commitment to a special education facility
--“medidas no privativas de libertad”-- noncustodial treatment orders
--“medidas privativas de libertad”-- custodial treatment orders
--“internamiento en un centro psiquiátrico”-- commitment to a psychiatric facility
--“internamiento en un centro de deshabituación”-- commitment to a rehabilitation facility
--“internamiento en centro educativo especial”-- commitment to a special education facility
--“medidas no privativas de libertad”-- noncustodial treatment orders

: Surely it's security, not safety.

I double-checked and it is "safety" measures. This is a case of literal translation, nothing else.

security restrains for forensic patients
My opinion.
Peer comment(s):

AllegroTrans
: (a) "restrains" is a verb (b) "forensic patients" makes zero sense
