The youth ward of an inpatient facility in America, the boys and girls had been combined since there wasn't enough youth to be split, entering the ward you'll be greeted by a desk with the nurse and a technician who were always there. To your left would be an open yet small room recreational room with a few heavy tables and plastic boxy chairs filled with sand, both heavy to ensure they wouldn't be easily thrown, on the far wall there was a TV mounted to the wall and encased by thick plastic to prevent breakage.

In a small corner next to the thick glass sliding door that lead to a small outdoor area with a high fence and small grass area with a few volleyballs scattered around, there was a small kitchen area with a small fridge/freezer combination that held juices and cold packaged cheese and ham sandwiches, there was no microwave or oven due to not wanting to risk patient safety, but on the counters was a small container with a few snacks. Depending on the day there could be rice crispy treats, goldfish or cheese-it's, apples and oranges, and crackers.

Walking past the recreation room and into the hallway there was a small office for when the doctor would be there, though the doctor only showed up three days out of the week, they would talk to patients and order medicine to fit their needs. If the patient refused medication they would be held for longer, patients could not be discharged on the weekends unless they were withdrawn AMA (Against Medical Advisory) by their parental guardians or social service workers.

Next for the office was a restroom with a singular toilet and sink with a soap dispenser, everything in the bathroom was smooth surfaces to prevent patient's from harming themselves.

Further down the hallway was the rooms, biologically birth gender assigned so girls with girls and boys with boys unless the patient has mental health struggles with psychosis, harming other patients, or sex addictions. If the patient registration was low transgender patients are allowed their own room.

The rooms have two beds in each corner, a thin plastic like mattress resting on a wooden frame mounted to the ground. The mattress iscovered with a thin breathable bed sheet, a singular breathable blanket to prevent patients from trying to suffocate themselves, and a singular pillow with a cover. Next to the bed is an empty night stand mounted to the ground with open shelves so patients cannot hide items. Across the bed is an open dresser with shelves for clothing. In the corner of the room is a bathroom covered by a curtain, inside is a sink, toilet, and shower with a thin breathable curtain to prevent patients from trying to suffocate themselves. The entire bathroom is smooth surfaces and nothing to tie something around so patients can't create the conditions for a noose to hand themselves.

Outside the rooms a locked emergency exit door sits at the end of the hall with a chair in front where a tech will sit at night shift to make sure no patients try escaping.

Morning routine: patients are woken up at 7AM to head to breakfast, a cafeteria with joined tables, after coming back patients are called by name for their medication. Once everyone is given their medicine students are to head to a small school room to do online school.

Afternoon routine: patients are offered either outside time in the small outdoor area or a gymnasium with two basketball hoops and an optional volleyball court if the net is set up. They are taken to lunch after activity time and after lunch they are taken to a large group therapy room where patients are asked to talk about their mental health issues in a group setting with a designated therapist. Once group therapy is done patients are allowed to remain in the recreational room until evening time, there is card games and board games to play or they can watch PG 13 TV shows.

Evening routine: patients are taken to the cafeteria once more for dinner before being brought back for medication time and showers, with an hour or so left of time to relax in the recreational room until bed time at 10PM. Patients are not allowed outside of their room after 10PM and must remain quiet. Every 15 minutes a tech will open the door to their room and shine a flashlight in to check and see if the patients are asleep.
