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?
Perhaps actual rehabilitation costs too much and requires too much effort, so the cheaper “solution” is a punitive environment.
And maybe some people that come through actually are dangerous enough to warrant some of the measures, I couldn’t say.
