I'm not a psychiatrist, but it might be hard to tell them from the psychotics who can model the standard view of the world well enough, for long enough, to lie to the police about their condition. More practically, I doubt they get unsupervised phone calls.

The only thing that should matter is if they are medically claiming the patient "poses an imminent threat to themselves or others", either they did the paperwork or they didn't. And these aren't one of occurrences, these are systematic abuses in the same communities that would come up over and over again - which is presumably why police raided their facility in Georgia. > More practically, I doubt they get unsupervised phone calls. Most facilities have communal phones that are available throughout the day for short periods of time.
