This is commonly seen in movies, so I have 2 questions:

1.) Is it actually used?
2.) Why would anybody want to be in an asylum over prison anyway? Well, in prison you get ass raped, but in asylums you get drugged and pretty much stay in a cell most of the time. You also have to be around crazy people all the time, who would rape u it's just they're too drugged. Which would you pick? Prison or asylum.
