"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress

5. This happens

more often than people realize. I've been on the other side of this on the job in the distant past.
Anyone who is arrested is always asked if they are feeling suicidal or if they are thinking about harming themselves during intake. Some people who are being arrested say yes when they probably really aren't. There are various reasons for it, but most times is that people in custody are grasping for the few remaining methods available to them for trying to control their situation. But saying yes to these type of questions sets a mandatory procedure into motion, and it would be everything this guy experienced. Almost every time I saw this happen, the person later was trying to un-do the damage and explain that they were just mad and didn't mean it. Unfortunately, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube once it's said. The resulting procedure is mandatory.
Did he give an affirmative answer? I don't know, I wasn't there and if he did, he most likely isn't going to say he did. Granted, he shouldn't have been arrested in the first place, but the condition he explained fits the exact profile of the procedure for detainees who answer in the affirmative and that caught my attention.
His improper arrest aside, I just had to mention all that. If you aren't serious and honest, NEVER answer in the affirmative to these questions no matter how mad you are. The lawyers have made sure that this will happen if you do, and once you answer yes, there is no taking it back until the eval process is completed, and that can take days depending on circumstances
