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 when they haven’t even committed a crime?
I had a friend get 5150’d back in the late '80s. It wasn’t…uh, fun, he said. But not as bad as what you experienced. I think it’s shittier now. I’ve had a couple friends in jail, and a few in prison, over the years. Jail sounds like it’s kinda shitty, but nothing like prison.
I actually heard that county jails are worse than prison
Could be. My sample size is very small.
County time counts two for one, sometimes 3
