Tyree Smith, known as the 'Connecticut Cannibal,' exhibited violent tendencies in prison before his conditional release in February 2025 by the Psychiatric Security Review Board. Smith, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity for the 2011 murder and cannibalism of Angel Gonzalez, has spent years at Connecticut Valley Hospital. Despite claims of rehabilitation and a calming presence in a community facility, recent prison documents suggest he poses a serious threat and has been involved in altercations with inmates, raising concerns about his release and mental stability.
"Once he was stable, he was a really calming presence for other patients."
"He has maintained clinical stability. Adhered to the medications and continued to engage in group and substance abuse treatment."
