EDE, the Netherlands — It had all the markings of a television detective show. Posing as patients, three undercover observers got themselves admitted as patients to a locked psychiatric ward to investigate conditions on the inside.
This article is about the conditions of the mental hospitals that people go to in the Netherlands, and around the world. The idea here was to have fake patients go into the hospital and with the help of other undercover people, find the conditions of which the people must live in. To me, this is a very smart idea because it gets a first person perspective on the life of a mental hospital. Although i think that they should actually have the cameras on the patients rather than the visitors to get the full effect. It is important to have these places be as comfortable as possible because the people who live there are very unstable sometimes and need the environment around them to be soothing. Overall i agree with the idea to to surveillance on these wards, but it should be done in more of a discreet and more detailing way.
