Court rules against confinement of non dangerous mental patients
The Supreme Court held it unconstitutional to confine a non dangerous mental patient without treatment in a state hospital. Kenneth Donaldson, ex carpenter from York Pennsylvania, had sued Florida State Hospital after 15 years challenging his confinement. The ruling leaves lower courts to decide good faith by doctors and may prompt widespread releases from mental hospitals.
