  • Your explanation is surface level correct, in that it is in essence society’s justification, but ultimately they’re run like prisons because it’s initially cheaper to treat all mental health patients the same and because there might be one individual that is a danger to themselves (and even less likely, others) then we get the ‘prison-style’.

    The trouble of course comes in that in the long term this model likely costs far far more, because it’s incredibly damaging as human brains don’t fit in boxes.
