can they really tie you up in mental hospitals, or is that just hollywood embellishing facts?

Strait jackets are used very rarely anymore.  Shackles are still used but not often and usually only to prevent the patient from hurting himself or others.  Most of these restraints can be done away with once the patient is sedated to the point of calmness.  Once calm, the patient can also begin therapy.  Restraints are never used casually.

Well, if you heard them in California (and I have to assume you did), I can help you with one of them.\n\n5150 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is the section that allows law enforcement officers (go figure) to detain persons who are a danger to themselves, a danger to others, or gravely disabled due to a mental defect.  It's often used as the radio code for someone who is acting a little nutty or has attempted suicide.\n\nAnd speaking of suicide, this is the law that allows the police to take a suicidal person into *civil* custody.  This is not a criminal section, and the person being detained is not under criminal arrest, so NO...it is not against the law to try (or succeed) in killing yourself in California.\n\nAs for the 999, I have never heard of it.  A lot of agencies use what are called "900 codes", so it certainly seems reasonable that the other poster has it right...I've just never heard it myself.

Not really.  The inmates are in charge of the asylum no matter where you go.  Even atheists end up submitting themselves to the dictates of the religious nutters, because they are the ones writing laws.

Not unless they are certifiably mentally ill with absolutely NO CHANCE OF REHABILITATION!!!\n\nIf they can be rehabilitated, then NO. If they can't SURE but on certain stipulations!

I think it is a story that conspiracy nuts who invent there own reasons they want to hear come up with to make themselves feel better about their surrounding.

Every time I think your question, they do something even more\nbizzare. So, with utter fear, I must say it's possible & likely.

yeah, I heard that too amazingly enough! I'm starting to think that it is not such propaganda! My husband works inintelligence, and he has started asking me to stay as clothed at all times as possible, and to tak my showers in a bathing suit... I asked him why but he said if he told me he would have to kill me.

No. You can believe in that, true or not. Obviously you're going to get controversial opinions about this (some people will consider things as fact, but ignore them), but believe on what you want to believe. If you want to believe it, do so. If you don't, then don't and ignore.\n\nBelieve me, you'll get different opinions from different psychiatrists.\n\nPS Penguins!!!

that is messed up, alot of cops do this i think because they like to intimidate people. they seem to enjoy scaring people who are minding their own business.i have done alot of searches on the prisons in your state and police abuse, and it seems tht info is very difficult to find. \ncould you please answer my question about Bridgewater State Hospital?

I can't answer that. My psychiatrist has me on her watch list.

Well, if you're asking a question like this, you're probably already mentally ill...does that help?

You do realise its not just like the CSI on tv, my uncle does it. He needs to get therapy from seeing some sick shit, like children that have been stabbed etc. Most cases go unsolved too, so yeah the tv dramas that glorify it - yah not really like real life.\n\nbad people do win sometimes

Generally, no; but any insane asylum needs to know how to make survival compulsory for their suicidal inmates. I'd think some of the more basic forms of learning could also be forced.

I found a link for your question, it is http://www.deliriumsrealm.com/delirium/articleview.asp?Post=84.  It's pretty intense, not something that I, personally, would be interested in, but it's an answer to your question.\n\nBe careful when messin' with stuff you don't really understand.  That goes in all areas though.  \n\nHave a great day!!!
