Welcome.

This page contains a picture of an old poster from the early days of mental patients’ lib, then known as the psychiatric inmates’ liberation movement. Many people have questioned the rationale behind patients referring to themselves as ex-inmates. The answer, the founding matriarchs and patriarchs gave is that, similar to prison inmates, patients in mental hospitals don’t have the freedom to leave their institutions any more than prisoners do. Thus, in either case, we’re talking about inmates.
