AP reports: “Patients at a state mental hospital overdosed on illegal drugs, were improperly restrained for hours on end and were forced to spend 12 hours in soiled diapers, according to a scathing report issued by the U.S. Justice Department.”
“The report said the problems were among ‘widespread and systematic deficiencies’ at Napa State Hospital, including suicide and inadequate medical care. Some patients were bathed only every two to four weeks, the report said.
State officials were given until Aug. 15 to implement ‘minimum remedial measures’ at the mental hospital, which has about 1,100 patients.”
