Yeah, when I was 'in' I escaped!!!And the cops were hunting me!!!And there was a girl who was absolutely convinced that they'd switched her head with that of her 'twin', other than that she was nice to talk to. Food was good. Next time they put me in the secure ward so no escapee. But an extrodinarily kind male nurse who made me feel human....(NOT sex, just pure human kindness when I needed it most).
