Yep. This kind of behavior is an inherent consequence of for-profit institutions.
The not-for-profit ones aren't much better in that regard; a lot of them are run as de-facto profit centers for religious denominations.
The Asylums of old never went away, they just morphed a little bit.
Once you get the label "mentally ill" you're pretty much completely discarded by society. These people have few to no advocates, so I expect little to change.
Just the other day there was a piece on hospice on Last Week Tonight, maybe they oughta cover asylums next.
