Art. 62 If a person is acquitted under Article 15, or the conclusion of a judgment is, under Article 16, that punishment would serve no purpose, it may then be determined in a judgment, if it is considered necessary in terms of legal certainty, that measures are to be taken to prevent the person constituting a hazard. If it may be considered that milder measures, such as bail, a prohibition on being in certain places or the deprivation of legal competence would not be of any use, it may be decided that the person be placed in an appropriate home. The Supreme Court shall then appoint a supervisor for the person who shall monitor to ensure that his or her stay in the home shall not last longer than is necessary. When there is considered to be reason, the [minister] shall seek a ruling from the district court in the area where the home is located as to whether the aforesaid measures are considered as still being necessary, providing that the opinion of a physician has been sought.

If it is considered that the conditions of Article 62 are met, it may be decided in the judgment that the measures taken under that Article are to be applied instead of punishment, or until it is considered possible to execute punishment.
