i sat on a Professional Input Committed for transporting people with Mental Illness Involuntarily to the hospital, which is 4 to 7 hrs from here, and the law mandated that and MI transport be in full shackles, hand, foot and waist. "Prisoners" were denied music or other distractions and were known to be beaten if they protested. this was common practice, spoken of openly.

in the public "MI detention center" in Sacramento, people who admitted themselves voluntarily were beaten and even raped, and not as a rare instance, either. staff knew who did these things, and protected their co-workers.

i, myself, was medicated into incompetency and then thrown out to fend for myself, with no follow-up, no help, no safety net. the first, tho not the worst thing that happened was rape. then loss of car, then panic and other PTSD symptoms, which i had never had before.

it is not rare to be abused physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, financially, legally, and chemically, once you have been labelled "Crazy".
even the ADA, enacted because of the lack of protection for us, is honored mostly in the breach (not at all).

so, if you wonder if you were just snubbed by a "social worker", denigrated by an officer, mistrialed by a judge, or over medicated by a Pdoc, there's a good chance you were.
