It taught me never to talk about my feelings or past. I didn't get any of those rights and the people who lied to detain me have zero accountability

I know someone who said she asked for but never received a copy of the law every day she was there, from the time she signed a paper saying she had a right to see it.

Most facilities fail/REFUSE to inform the detainees of their rights! And obviously you can’t have your phone to find a video like this. Once you’re out, it’s too late.

INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENT An unconstitutional and horrifyingly abused legal process by which-- in the absence of any destructive activity, and on nothing more than the word of a single lie people are stripped of civil/human rights and imprisoned in a psychiatric facility, with no form of recourse whatsoever, in most states for a period of up to 72 hours. A terrifying and destructive ordeal whose only positive effect is to inspire activism against the fraud of psychiatry.

I was threatened with commitment to a psychiatric facility if I did not retract my writ of habeus corpus and no medical test was ever given.

+RedFlowerDarkHair Yes, a writ of habeas corpus is just a request that the court look at the situation, such as in a situation where a person is saying that they are unlawfully detained.

Does one have a right to a medical test (brain scan) before having to take psychiatric drugs?

This is for Florida Students that once your free from your Hospital then you'll be sent to an EBD Center School "Not the school you got suspended or expelled from" and they will make sure that your life is more miserable then a normal school could of done.

“To be admitted to a Baker Act receiving facility, it must be believed that you have a mental illness and are a danger to yourself or others.” What? Someone must believe something? That is no protection at all. And the right to appoint a representative adds hardly any protection. “. . . right to be treated with respect, to be free of neglect or abuse, to have appropriate clothing, “ Who is to say when these generalities have been violated, and what recourse does one have if they are? “unless restricted by a doctor’s . . . orders” This is denial of due process. “fresh air breaks unless restricted due to medical or security reasons.” This is denial of a basic human survival need, and by no stretch of the imagination can fresh air create a security risk. “To help develop treatment and discharge plans.” That meaningless generality grants no rights whatsoever. And this comment does not even cover the first 20% of this video.

If your a violent person or escape risk there not gonna let you outside for fresh air for good and obvious reason although usually there so well enclosed, escape is virtually impossible. If you think about it, if someones threatening to take there life or someone elses or harm themselve I think its good enough that it's reason to believe. However these baker act recieving facilities are no country club. There a joke. They diagnose you in 5min and boot you in 3 days. In NY the mental health system is far better
