The Connecticut Petition for Release from Confinement (New 7/13) is a legal document that can be used by someone who has been confined by a court order, such as an involuntary commitment or an involuntary detention order, to obtain their release from confinement. The petition must be filed in the court where the order was issued and must include the petitioner's name, address, and the date of the court order. There are two types of Connecticut Petition for Release from Confinement: the Petition for Release from Involuntary Commitment and the Petition for Release from Involuntary Detention. The petition must be accompanied by a copy of the court order, and must include a statement of the facts and circumstances leading to the order, a statement of the petitioner's current condition, and an explanation of why the petitioner believes they should be released. The court will review the petition and may grant or deny the request for release.
