Unfortunately, our mental health institutions don’t receive as much funding as they deserve. One out of every five adults in the US is living with a mental illness (source). I know I would be really pissed off if someone strip-searched me and forced me to shower.
Comment on Why are mental health patients strip searched in mental hospitals here in the USA?

Yeah exactly. If they’re going to imprison ppl, at least don’t be stingy about it

They don’t take in hundreds of people per day. They might not even average one person per day. There’s no way it would be worth the 10s of thousands of dollars it would cost.
