I was in a maximum security psych ward and all i have to say about that is it helped no one. That simply was not in its design. I hope he gets out real soon to atleast a minimum security facility where they can and should be keeping an eye on him so he won't run away instead of doing the restraint thing.

I'm sorry he's going through this. Does he take meds or is he just noncompliant? Hopefully there are meds out there that can help him.

There's a good book from an Australian author about schizophrenia. It's titled "Recovered, not Cured" I would suggest reading that.

You have all my support at this difficult time. I hope he gets better soon.
