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?
Only when you’re in the process of being admitted to a mental hospital.
I guess no ones been wrongly committed
They have, but the exact same reason applies. How does anyone know someone is wrongly committed, except for the person themselves? It’s hard and not possible without a decent time investment. Before that time is invested though, safety procedures have to be followed.
Well they won’t be so safe if I ever go back
This reply shows that you’re unfortunately exactly why they do these things.
