This is very much a blend of Girl interrupted and A bird flew over the cuckoos nest. A tale of the downsides and oversites that come with corrupts systems and people in the mental help industries. The stories of multiple patients and how our MMC interacted with them and the truths they made him realize while trying to just mentally survive in an institute that ignores dangers and just seeks to control its patients instead of help them.
