observation by psychiatrists and nurses is what they go by when you can be let out of a locked ward…for me I had to take something like a 300 question test before they trusted me. I lied on the test and was released while still a bit delusional…

Forensic Psych units are different over here. Normally it a building on the same grounds as a normal psych unit.
I got put in one years ago - and i would have rather been in prison. Its not the place - its the other unwell people that can make your life a misery.
Offenders i knew in the nick would actually try to get in one, cos they thought it was more cushy. In fact you have less of a liberty in those places - and you dont always have a set release date.

I was put on the mental health ward at Felpham YOI when I was 17, then at 18 I went to the forensic ward in Chichester when I had been drugged and trashed Meadowfields
When I was at Meadowfield hospital, I lost it completely and had no idea what I was doing
I blame it on the meds they gave me as I drew a blank on a whole evening
The next day they lured me into the back of a police van, and I got the joy of the forensic setting for about a week
Some of the people were really messed up

I got emotionally trashed opening this thread. As i said i got huge trusting issues. I talk to you when i am stable again. These daysvyou can’t say as you please. Voices are only a sounding of birds in the wind.
I doubt if it is counted as a forensic prison according to the law.

I’ve only been in locked wards not forensic ones, but I’ve heard it’s notoriously difficult to get out of them here. You can be there easily a couple of years or a lifetime.

i was in a state hospital twice. they have a judge! a little courtroom. wasn’t forensic. got some scary stuff handed to me in the court papers. said I talked about the police chief raping girls in the woods and I never said a word! i was going silently insane the whole time. also said I believed i married a pop star when really i was talking about my ex as if she were still alive. now i’m considered someone who talks about things like that.
i actually have though said things in the past couple years. to my mother and father it was about people accusing me of murder. that’s kind of scary but knowing schizophrenics (i like them) it’s not abnormal. I just have to keep silent about it when it’s happening. I didn’t go to the hospital as i
'm already in treatment.

I was in a private psych hospital which had its own courtroom.
I had to go in front of a judge and was represented by an attorney.
All because I was involuntarily committed
I hated that hell hole

Isn’t that the truth. Whoever decided that it was good for the patients to mix all day in a psych ward was obviously someone who spent little time with said patients as a group. Just vile.
Also reminds me of being homeless. Other homeless people are generally the biggest threat to you.

Its the patients that will try and ponce your ciggies that are the worst, or get angry cos you wont pray with them, or the token raging nympho (male and female) that strips off in the ward.
At least when your in prison on gen population, you can have a sensible conversation, and most of the time people just wanna keep their heads down and do their sentance lol.
I hate any hospital, psych or otherwise - with a passion anyway, i have to be dying before i go near one

We are living in a time where you can’t say what you want to say, its oppression. Especially victims can’t express there feelings against their abusers. Sadly they have to fear getting locked up and heavily medicated.

In the hospital one time they brought someone up from the basement they called it. Which im pretty sure is for the criminally insane. Anyway he had finger nails like 6 inches long and they put him in my room. I called the nurse in because he was saying very strange things. And when she showed up. He said her full legal name which he had no way of knowing and it scared the â– â– â– â– out of her. They then put him alone in a room. Ofc that had to happen to me. Those places did more harm then good to me

I left psych hospital from a locked ward. I was on there after reacting badly to an ultra manic patient who had spent over a month tormenting me. It was the only ward that could have me. For sure there were rather weird people on it , and it was quite regimented, but unlike the ward I was moved from there weren’t favoured and non favoured patients. It was a well run ward.

I spent half the year of '88 on a locked ward attached to a military prison. It was well run and we were well taken care of. We’ve all lost touch with each other now.
