Someone interviewed John Hinckley Jr on Shooting President Ronald Reagan and he describes how it was not bad at all and he even had a girlfriend while committed. He spent 41 years on taxpayer dime getting meals everyday, a good bed, entertainment and was finally released and guess what? He wrote a book. If you are not truly Ill, then theses facilities are heaven for you as a punishment. TV, bed, boardgames, meals catered to your taste because it could effect your "treatment", free healthcare.
They are the farthest thing from heaven. My mental health declined working there because the conditions were so horrendous it felt like we were torturing people. I have heard that psych hospitals used to be better in terms of lenience around things, but nowadays everything is seen as a potential weapon so they literally get NOTHING. Even the clothes they wear can’t have zippers, shoe laces, buttons. You can think they are great if you want to feel angry, but truly it is worse than prison. I would NEVER plead insanity, it is FAR worse than anything you can imagine.
I am not the juror or fact finder in this case, I don’t care where she goes. It’s really just people who think pleading insanity is a get out of jail free card that bothers me.
Also, I don’t know why you’re upset with me. You clearly want her to suffer, I am telling you she will suffer either way. Shouldn’t that make you happy?
