Why are mental hospitals run like prisons?

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...

AlissaSameer,

Yeah when I complained about my treatment, they said it’s for my and others safety and to calm down. Even if they’re right, it’s still a really horrible experience.

AlissaSameer,

I guess I get what you mean but it was still humiliating to strip naked for strangers and open up if you get my meaning. I still feel humiliated by it.

AlissaSameer,

I actually heard that county jails are worse than prison

AlissaSameer,

I’d rather be stabbed since I have a death wish

AlissaSameer,

Exactly

AlissaSameer,

I don’t want to hurt anyone else, just myself. I can’t help it at this point so I don’t think mistreating me is going to solve it

AlissaSameer,

Thanks but they had no reason to think I’m going to hurt others

AlissaSameer,

I thought I had bodily autonomy? I can get an abortion if I want, not sure why I can’t blow my brains out if I want to under the same principle. Seems a weird reason to incarcerate someone.

And again, I never hurt anyone there or anywhere, I’m not a violent person. Isn’t that what matters, only if you want to hurt others?

AlissaSameer,

I’m not a nutcase so there’s no threat of that.

AlissaSameer,

I won’t actually blow my brains out, I plan to go to Oregon or Washington and ask a doctor to euthanize me. Clean, effective, painless. Satisfies everyone. Anyway, I still don’t think it justifies humiliating me, and I don’t just mean the strip search. I got restrained a number of times and dragged into isolation for not following the rules and for an escape attempt.

AlissaSameer,

Uh…Im sure the default assumption isnt that youre crazy

AlissaSameer,

You assume everyones a fruitcake?

AlissaSameer,

AlissaSameer,

AlissaSameer,

I havent made any excuses

AlissaSameer,

I havent done anything crazy

AlissaSameer,

Well I dont agree.

AlissaSameer,

I guess no ones been wrongly committed

AlissaSameer,

I respect your friends decision

AlissaSameer,

Well they won’t be so safe if I ever go back

AlissaSameer,

Condescending
