>The solutions are institutionalization
Isn't there a lot of rose-colored glasses around institutionalization of the mentally ill? The reason we got rid of it is because it is essentially imprisonment, with all sorts of abuses and not some sort of all-inclusive luxury resort.

- corinroyal 2y agoThey were absolutely torture palaces for society's undesirables, but that's not why Reagan got rid of them. He just didn't care. The psych ward is perhaps more oppressive than prison. At least in prison, you have an idea when you might get out, forced drugging is minimal, and no one pretends they're doing it for your own good. To hear today's tech workers talk, most would be happy to bring back the torture palaces if it made their commute more comfortable.
