    I can’t imagine where they’d find doctors and nurses to work these Trumpian facilities.

    There aren’t enough psychiatrists and psychologists for the current job openings. Nurses are likely too marketable to work that type of job unless they’re so bad they’ve been rejected everywhere else.

    Of note, prison is the #1 provider of mental health services in the USA. They can’t fill their psychiatry job openings either.

    But this might be the plan. Forced rehab in for profit prisons.

    Yeah I’d like to believe they’d get this half right and get actual professionals… but it’s Trump and he’ll just create a literal skyscraper of “the bearings will continue until morale improves” and claim it’s a new kind of mental health care or something
