It seriously seems like that sometimes.
I swear, the mental health infrastructure in Gotham ishorrible. No wonder so many people with mental illnesses turn to crime. Dealing with schizophrenia? Off to Arkham with you! I’m sure that experience will absolutely benefit your overall mental health, and absolutely won’t haunt you in the future.

An issue I was reading earlier (I am currently going over some of the old Cataclysm and later issues with a friend), an Arkham guard is kidnapped by inmates, who have a story-telling contest for the right to kill him.

To mark off their claim for later? And we see this when his wife is visiting him… naked in a cell in Arkham and chained to the floor. Oh, and apparently they’re calling him Jigsaw now.
Um
What the fuck?
