Thanks Clouds

Privatizing prisons and mental institutions is a little scary to me. We had a mental health/psychiatric hospital close it's doors a while back, throwing the patients out on the street. The more violent patients were sent to prison.

It bothers me because so many years ago before we knew what was wrong with mom (amyloidosis), we committed her to a psychiatric ward. It was the law back then to have psychiatric counsel, but it was the professionals that told us to commit her over to them.

It still hurts that we committed mom for being sick, but I'm glad the hospital stayed open. It would have been so much worse if she had been thrown in a jail.

Speaking of private institutions, have you heard about this place? I hear they're planning to make a movie about what happened there.
