Description
May 10 on The Story: At Oregon's state-run psychiatric hospital, space is at a premium.

But recent scrutiny from the federal government suggests that capacity is far from the only problem — security and patient safety have also been an issue, demonstrated by instances of patient-on-patient violence and sexual coercion. A 102-page report finds that proper safety procedures at the psychiatric hospital either didn't exist or weren't being followed.
