Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain psychiatric hospitals, relay types, admission law, patient rights, history and reform from mental health law and history sources with debates attributed, route crises to emergency services and crisis lines, describe the named forms, and distinguish psychiatric hospitals from general hospital psychiatric wards, crisis centres, rehabilitation centres for addiction and prisons.
A hospital specialising in the treatment of serious mental illness, providing inpatient assessment, treatment and rehabilitation, including forensic psychiatric centres for people involved with the criminal justice system, with a history running from early asylums, once called lunatic asylums, through 19th-century reform designs such as the Kirkbride Plan, used for many US state hospitals including Pennsylvania State Hospitals, to deinstitutionalisation from the 1950s and modern community-based care; historical abuses and overcrowding are documented, and involuntary admission is governed by mental health laws with rights of appeal. Anyone in immediate crisis should contact emergency services or a crisis line.
What it is for: Inpatient mental health care.
It can be explain types and care; relay admission law and rights in general terms; describe history and named forms; route crises.
