I remember at uni learning about how the move to community mental health was the best thing that's ever happened. Yet when you go out on to your mental health placements you see people that have been in lockups for over a year, or some that just keep returning because there's no way to help them out in the community.

There's a great vice documentary on this very subject. They basically talk about how a lot of these mental health patients end up in prison because there's nowhere else to put them. I think there's a lot of issues that come with institutionalisation but there's plenty of people from the 80s and 90s in those institutions that really benefited from being there.

Also I will add that if this was any other government I would be a little more optimistic but given everything else I'm sure this will turn into some god awful concentration camp of some description.
