Prison or mental hospital

[the game]

Would you rather be in a prison or a mental hospital?

[Tennis]

Neither. Rather be living in the suburbs with a wife and kids.

[Lenonis]

You generally don't get to choose in that scenario.

I'd probably go mental hospital. Likely safer there overall.

[Independent voter]

Mental hospital for non-criminal types.

[SL1200]

Prison, I mean do you really want to be in the mental hospital with people that are crazy? At least in the pen they put you with similar people.

[Malacrass]

In which country?

How long would I have to stay?

I imagine it to be difficult / almost impossible to find a job with a mental hospital record.

[Aeula]

I'd have to have a trial period in both.

I've heard that prison can be fun if you're charismatic. There's one guy who got together a D&D team with the other inmates and he spends his days writing new stuff for their game.

That said being free is always best.

[Machismo]

My country is a mental hospital.

[Teebone]

Prison. I can at least be sure I'll have a firm grasp of reality.

Mental hospital. Atleast their you are surronded by trained Personel, who know how to care for you. Were in a Prison you are guarded by people, who have very little trainning if any at all with dealing with Mentall Illnesses.

Act crazy.

[PACOX]

Hospital, you get legal drugs.

[Total Crica]

Act crazy.

brain scans nowadays can tell if you are acting

Assuming you're mentally ill in both scenarios.

Being mentally sound and stuck in a mental hospital is probably a lot worse than being in prison. At least here in Norway.

Only if you're talking about some very advanced measurements that are too expensive to be in use. A mental illness is very hard to fake over time in the company of trained nurses and doctors, but there's no machine you can put people into to identify any and all mental illness.

I don't really follow trials or anything, but are MRIs a common part of trials and people making a crazy plea?

would hope so, i mean, if we can prove someone is lying about being crazy or not, wouldn't you want that to be a part of a court trial?

But that is the problem: You cannot prove they are lying about being crazy, at best you can sometimes tell they might be lying about not being crazy.

[Vizardlorde]

A Norwegian prison.

Do they include gaming consoles?

[xindralol]

Prison.
It's usually shorter than involuntary commitment, you have more freedom and it's less scary.

^ though I can only imagine what it'd be like in ad seg for a couple years ... maybe being drugged up 24/7 makes the time fly by in a mental institution haha
