Well, I must say, if I ever had landed in that place I would have seriously misbehaved like every second of the day just so they'd put me in a room where i could use a toilet without constant observation. Seriously, throw me in isolation, I don't care. I least I'd have some peace while I... Well, you get the idea.

They have tubs like these at a nursing home I worked at while I was going to nursing school. There were two kinds one was for muscle relaxation and the other was a walk-in-bath.

You pretty much nailed what it used to be like and what it can still be like in some places or on some days.

I think I'm finally getting too old for this field. 8`-)

Yeah - I don't quite get it either. Who said anything that was sexist in nature? What did I miss?

Humane Mental health care. Read the synopsis, notice what type of facility. Now remember for most of the place's existence, things were pretty primitive. For most of the place's existence it was a very low paying place to work. Requirement for a job was a pulse. Training and supervision were nil. You coped or you didn't. It was a violent filthy job. Prior to the discovery of tranquilizers it was a thrill a minute sort of place. Abuse happened yes. You work a job where the pay sucks, people eat feces, attack people for no reason. Where just keeping them alive for 8 hours was going to be a real challenge. A place where you've had your nose broken by a headbutt. You have your clothes ripped off your body, glasses broken, pile up scars at a record pace, and see if you don't snap. Things did and have improved over the years. Shit still happens god knows, but it's better.

You have to understand that probably a group was taken to the bathroom and open toilets are a neccessity so you can watch everyone. You assume everyone sits there nicely and goes potty. WRONG!

Hi, Moncia,

What the hell are you talking about? I am a little corn-fused.

Thanks.

If the person using the restroom was a suicide risk, would YOU want there to be stall doors? As for being low to the ground, that is probably for wheelchair accesibility, another good reason not to have narrow stall walls!
i think that any parent who can leave their child in a place like that or on the street is mentaly sick. and how could the government let children use stuff like that. they need to change. boys are not better than girls and girls are not better than boys. everyone is equal. and i truly beleive that girls should definietly be treated a whole lot beter than that!!!!!
