[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 742195, member: 1550"] Sadly the main psychiatric facilities in the U.S. since shutting down state hospitals and giving even psychotic people "rights" have become jails and prisons. I saw a scary documentary about this. But there is nowhere else to take the mentally ill who act out in public and need help unless they are actively homicidal or suicidal. If they take them to hospitals just for acting mentally sick with no dangerous ideation, the hospital will just refuse to admit the person. Or the patient will refuse treatment which is their right under The Civil Rights laws. Thus jail. At least they are off the streets and not scaring people and can be watched. Thats sll our country offers. Our society needs to take a hard look at this. It is unacceptable. [/QUOTE]
