Comment on Why are mental hospitals run like prisons?

In theory it’s for safety, both for the patient and the workers. A lot of the point of inpatient facilities is to monitor the people, and ensure they can’t harm themselves or others, while their circumstances or medications get sorted out.

That’s not to say every facility is perfect, and that’s not saying anything about you. But generally, it’s for their own good.
