I was recently involuntarily held in a mental hospital where I went through prison like conditions (strip search, had to wear scrubs, was locked in a room outside certain times a day, stuff like that) and thankfully came out in one piece after 8 days of this crap. I was just wondering why we subject people to these conditions when they haven’t even committed a crime?

      I think you may have missed a significant chunk of what I wrote. The prof told me that they couldn’t know who was going to try to hurt others. Often the patients themselves didn’t know whether they were going to hurt others.

          You may not be a nutcase, but you’re definitely lacking understanding for others. How is anyone supposed to know you’re not a nutcase? Only you are able to know that. It’s simply impossible for anyone else except if they knew you for many years.

          And how do people know that? How do they know you’re not pretending to be a nutcase?

          Do you understand that people can pretend to be kind, normal, etc as a way to sneak things in?

          I’m sorry you had to go through these things, but you seem to lack some serious awareness of others.
