I think it's cruel that they won't let you have your phones. I've been in 3 different hospitals and no one has ever not been allowed to keep their phone.

This. It is a horrible thing that it happens commonly in the USA. Just 3-5 day hospitalizations without any phone/computer was awful for me. Thankfully I am able to keep a laptop and phone with me during my stay in Finnish psychiatric hospitals.
Thanks for this!
