The three worst institutions I've visited have been, from worst to least worst:
1) Mental hospital, 1969
2) Medicaid nursing home, 1982
3) Prison yard, 1995
We visited my uncle in the mental hospital. Oh boy, I still remember that. The mumbling, the incredible amount of smoking.
My grandfather lingered in the medicaid nursing home. Still remember the smell of urine. My nightmare was from the time the man in the chair grabbed my coat and screamed at me (a late teen): "get me out of here!"
Prison was community service, playing sports with the incarcerated. We were basically cannon fodder. Glad the inmates enjoyed it! At least they had some esprit de corps.
Based on all of the above, I totally understand why many disenfranchised decide to roam the streets, whether we like it or not.
