Justifiably so. When a "hospital" has more power over penal settings and indefinite imprisonment combined with no oversight, its time for them to go.

I'm sure there is a good balance here, somewhere. But what we had and now have isn't it. A better balance feels like it should include a judge, 2 doctors with at least 2 hr patient time for each, and someone else that the patient knows.

The hospitals aren't being closed due to some guilt over them bearing too many similarities to the prison-industrial complex. They're being closed to save money, and the patients are thrown out on the street. Quite the opposite direction of paying more doctors to help these people.
