Because I suspect that if you were committed to an institution of any sort the only thing you would want, would be, to be back out and free. If you are a voluntary inpatient, most places will charge your insurance $1000.00 per day. Can you afford 365 thousand dollars to keep you institutionalized? And that is what you learn in an institution is how to behave in a cage. One becomes institutionalized. Oh, well seems like we all come to a point where we just end up pacing the cage.
