writing from mental hospital

[Rev. Rye]

So, I take it that your lawyers didn't warn you that the benefits to pleading insanity when you're not actually insane are minimal? The only real benefit is the death penalty is off the table.

(Bold mine)

That's not entirely true. As someone who has spent time in both a prison and a high-security psych ward, the latter is much to be preferred.

Were the conditions in mental hospitals in Northern Ireland as shit as they seem to be here? And did you, during your time in the mental hospital, happen to have much contact with the criminally insane?
