Sounds like her thing, but we both thought it was great. They could have phone calls too from a public phone, unlimited smoke breaks, and all the juice and snacks they wanted. They don't want people from the outside having undo influence upon the patients, so contact is limited, and outside items can cause a self harm / contraband risk. I was actually surprised she could have visitors at all. And I don't remember if they had a policy about fraternization at that place, but I've heard the patients tend to hook up. Pretty wild & crazy place with interesting people.

Jail is a lot less fun, and I imagine prison even less so, but even jail is a pretty interesting experience. You meet a lot of interesting people there too.

There's good and bad to it. People like this need institutionalized care more often than not. Families can't always deal with it effectively. But the institutions themselves are also ripe for profiteering since a lot of people just want to get rid of their mentally ill relative and don't really give a shit about the conditions.

I become a bit of a pariah with some family when I tell them they can't humor the crazy people. Get accused of being an asshole which is true enough, but you give a mouse a cookie it's gonna want a glass of milk.
