    There are literally people itt advocating for it. I have seen people advocate for putting homeless in prisons and even concentration/work camps. People 100000% advocate for that type of psychiatric institution. In fact, per the link in my previous comment, the vast majority of psychiatric institutions are this type of institution and it is actually an exception to the norm and a new style of institution to do the permeable institution. So if you mean a permeable institution, you should specify that if you want to be understood, because that’s what common use means.

    Words mean things. People are cruel. Can’t assume you aren’t cruel. Use right word if you want to be understood.

      Oh I know there are people advocating to abuse homeless people. But when you assume all mental health facilities are lockdown facilities for dangerous people you’re hurting the entire mental health community. When pressed, people do not want lockdown facilities.

        Okay, great. Maybe next time clarify your meaning by saying “permeable institutions” or “assisted living,” so that people don’t assume you’re using the most common colloquial definition of “institution,” and so you don’t accidentally spread pro-traditional institution messages.
