I've been in a few different ones. They varied but overall it was no "One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest." I got to keep all my clothes unless they had drawstrings. Obviously the same for shoelaces. It only took me one time without them to remember to bring slip-on shoes.

I was IP once during Easter. One of the bipolar patients bought us all Easter baskets but they kept them in the nurses station but we could see the flowers. We got to keep the stuffed animal.
