They have it on their CORI because it was either a court ordered hold or they went to court to get released. Not everyone who goes into a mental hospital gets a CORI record, CORI stands for criminal offender records information so they had to be in court at some point to have criminal court records about it.

The registry is the police chief calls the Massachusetts department of mental health and asks if the person has ever been in a metal hospital in the state. If they have not been in an instate hospital then it won't show up.

They aren't but they rent for luxury prices, unless you consider granite countertops and "wooden" vinyl flooring luxurious.

I watch it but I'm also GenX and watched it when it aired back in the day.

60 Minutes has been suspect since they wouldn't air the tobacco whistleblower interview and that was over two decades ago.

All of the "news" on CBS is either sponsored or product placement.

No solution is coming until it is in dire need and they haven't implemented the short term solution yet.

That's the thing because they have the pirate ships and the USS Constitution famously fought the Tripolitan pirates off the Barbary coast which was a big deal in 1805.

The USS Constitution is technically still a ship of the US Navy but it's more of a living museum and only stays part of the Navy because the DOD has the largest budget on the planet.
