If it is found by the court that the convicted person is insane, the judge shall make and enter an order staying the execution of the judgment of death until the convicted person becomes sane, and shall therein order the Director of the Department of Corrections to confine such person in a safe place of confinement until the convicted person's reason is restored.2.
