I wish. No, this is a locked unit. And it is teeny which makes pacing kind of difficult. I'd love to get fresh air. But my pdoc says there aren't many or any unlocked units around here anymore because of liability. This building is just not designed for it; it's a regular hospital which has been converted so about half of it is psych. So I'm most of the way up a big building without access to any courtyard or anything.
