Section 22-52-52

Discharge of individual admitted voluntarily - Generally.

The superintendent of any institution shall discharge any mentally retarded individual admitted voluntarily whose institutionalization, care, training and treatment he deems to be no longer advisable. He may also discharge any mentally retarded individual admitted voluntarily if to do so would, in his judgment, contribute to the most effective use of the institution in the institutionalization, care, training and treatment of mentally retarded individuals; provided, that in no event shall any such individual be discharged if, in the judgment of the superintendent of such institution, such discharge would be harmful to the mentally retarded individual or others.
