Quote #1

"Just do me a favor, will you? Just bring him over to the Settle Building for five minutes. I know the night people there. They can call his doctor and get this sorted out. Because this whole thing is a big mistake." (4.10)

"All reading material has to be approved first by his doctor or the unit lead." (4.60)

Some of the rules are a little silly, though. They won't even let a Bible into Hatch without being approved. What, is he going to hide a gun in it or something?

Quote #3

"They've placed your brother in a forensic hospital because he's seriously mentally ill and because he's committed a serious crime." (9.105)

Unfortunately, lots of mentally ill people don't get the help they need until they break some serious rules and get court ordered to a facility.
