Comment on Why are mental hospitals run like prisons?
masquenox@lemmy.world 9 months agoSorry, but I don’t buy this. Many, many years ago I had a loved one in one of these prison-like institutions - I fought hard to get her out of there and into a better place.
Miraculously, her (supposed) “violent tendencies” disappeared the moment we got her out of the prison-like place and into one where she wasn’t treated like a subhuman.

No, no, you see, they must treat patients like subhuman, otherwise how will they know their place?? (/s but only just, since that's exactly how many people running and working in these hell holes actually see the world).
