I went (voluntarily) inpatient a few months ago. I was physically assaulted, forced into a women’s, and denied any communication with the outside world. There are supposed to be state regulations where you can speak to a patient advocate or call out - they refused to let me. They actually threatened to hold me longer if I kept asking (they said they could do up to five days, or longer across a weekend).

The system is already set up where I live.
