Regular psych wards are bleak but like you said, nothing like this place, which in parts is basically one step up from prison.
They should eliminate there being a 'worst place' to go as a patient...if someone is getting treatment the goal should be to improve their condition right? How the hell are they going to do that in a facility described as being a step up from a prison?

'Oh only people with mental problems who have committed crimes go there' well they still should be getting proper treatment a facility one step above a prison does not seem like a good way to do that.
