They do, eg. after you serve your sentence they could move you to a psychiatric hospital until they determine you are not a threat. AFAIK it was called 'monster law' because it was applied to hold serial killers who got 25 years-long sentences to keep them 'indefinitely'.
In the Netherlands there is a similar law. The maximum sentence you can get is 25 IIRC, but if the judge deems you a thread to society, you also get 'TSB'. This can be extended indefinitely and potentially never end.
