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?

      They have, but the exact same reason applies. How does anyone know someone is wrongly committed, except for the person themselves? It’s hard and not possible without a decent time investment. Before that time is invested though, safety procedures have to be followed.

          This reply shows that you’re unfortunately partly why they do these things.

              I’m not, or I try to not be, I promise. But you’ve just threatened to hurt the staff of these facilities. I know that unfortunately you can’t or don’t want to understand. But you’ve now got feelings of vengeance that don’t seem to be entirely justified from an outsider’s perspective. From your own perspective, they are completely justified. This discrepancy is causing the issues.
