writing from mental hospital

(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?

I can’t speak to the first, as I’ve never spent time in one of your mental hospitals. As to the second, I would say ‘some’, not much.
