Human waste, sedated patients and regular rape: Inside the most dangerous mental health hospital in - Polidicks

[video=youtube;bEAYETfqA5M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEAYETfqA5M[/video] [QUOTE]An undercover investigation by the BBC shows heavily sedated, motionless bodies lying in a barren courtyard in burning sun, patients with shaved heads and others walking around naked.The footage shows patients’ dirty skin covered in their own faeces and more in rags sitting on concrete floors, plastic chairs or on broken, rusting metal beds in the dark, sparse hospital. The programme also reveals how former patients claim they were raped in the institution. The Federico Mora Hospital in Guatemala is home to 340 patients, including 50 violent and mentally ill criminals, BBC reports.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.independent.ie/world-news/americas/human-waste-sedated-patients-and-regular-rape-inside-the-most-dangerous-mental-health-hospital-in-the-world-30801932.html[/url] Jesus, this like Shutter Island in real life except worse

Might aswell let all the 290 non-criminals out since they're perhaps better off on the streets.

Everyone outside the DTES has a place to be, not here. On the East Side people are just standing about.

For some reason this reminds me of Outlast...

How is this even possible? [editline]5th December 2014[/editline] I mean, for fuck's sake, the very textbook definition of a savage is far better off than these people

Pretty fucked up...

Looks as bad as when Geraldo Rivera exposed Willowbrook.

Absolutely horrific. I couldn't keep my cool if I was that reporter, guess that's why I'll never be one though. You can see that it gets to him at 1:26

Damn, this wins the price to "worst place of all places on earth, and probably in other dimensions/realities too". I'd rather go to the mental asylum in [I]Midnight Express[/I] than this one. How the hell can the people working there keep their sanity, are they as deranged as the very own patients they are supposed to [I]"care"[/I] for? They carry out their jobs there surrounded by people living in miserable conditions, both physically and mentally, there's all kind of abuses going on, yet nobody gives a shit, or takes a step forward to report it to the authorities. Obviously those who commited the abuses won't just stop it and confess, but sure there has to be someone working there that sees the institution as one of the multiple levels of hell, to say the least. Shit like this makes my blood boil and my mouth froth. I hope everyone responsible for the well-being of those patients rots forever in the deepest levels of a medieval dungeon.

Fire all the staff and replace them with a fresh roll of staff. Charge the old staff for negligence at the very least.

isn't this basically how all mental hospitals used to be until like the late 80s?

[QUOTE=Reshy;46658784]Fire all the staff and replace them with a fresh roll of staff. Charge the old staff for negligence at the very least.[/QUOTE] It was shown in the video that there were 3 careworkers to over 70 people on one ward. Considering the likely complete lack of funding they get. I'm surprised they were even able to sedate as many patients as it looked like they had. They wouldn't be able to do anything to help if they wanted to. If I had to guess, they sedate the patients for their own good rather than to give themselves less work. They could completely lock the place up and ignore the poor souls there, but sedating them seems less cruel. I'd say that the sedation was merciful-in a sort of sick way-when you look at the condition the place is in. My mother is a care worker in a private home and I've seen the stress that comes with dealing with even a dozen patients. Imagining what three people must feel like taking care of several dozen while lacking all of the tools necessary to do so makes me feel for them, but I feel absolutely fucking horrible for the patients. They're all completely and utterly vulnerable and helpless and seeing people like that tossed aside as if they were worthless really pains me. I'm uncertain whether I'd charge the staff with anything unless they were directly negligent or harmful, as in reality you can't really fault them for not doing their jobs if they aren't given anything near the funding or manpower that they require. As I said, as horrible as it may be sedating so many of them was likely the best (and only) course of action they could take-for themselves and for the patients under their care. Being entirely aware of the conditions that they were forced to live in would have been worse, and I think we all know what the guards would end up doing to the patients.
