i haven't been ip since high school, but i know from the few details my mom was willing to share with me that they're awful. they treat patients more like an unruly herd of cattle than people. and just because psych hospitals aren't still using bloodletting or locking us up in straightjackets in padded cells for days on end doesn't mean there's not still abuse of power. honestly i don't think i'll ever forget the first time i saw someone get the "booty juice."
