Best Answer

There is a history of mental health treatment being used as a guise for incarceration. (A pop culture reference to this is made in the film The Changeling, for example.)

Mental health care itself generally requires the consent of the individual receiving treatment, and in situations where that consent is not given, there is the possibility for the violation of the right. For example, forced medication in US jails is very common for those with a schizoid/schizophrenia diagnosis.
