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?

    Because most countries use them as prisons.

    I guess you’ve only got to be attacked by a couple of people who should have been in a secure wing of a real prison before you start to treat everyone as a dangerous lunatic.
