Welcome to Australia’s biggest hospital for the severely mentally ill — prison
Dr Trevor Ma says doctors are in a battle with 'the injustices of the carceral system'.
Australian prisons are places of punishment and fundamentally incompatible with good mental health.
They have become both our largest and our most underfunded providers of mental health care for those with severe mental illness.
Restrictive practices for those with mental illness are ubiquitous.
The provision of mental health care under these conditions means that moral events are common.
