Up nextAnders Agger is admitted to the top-security psychiatric hospital Sikrigen in Slagelse for the first time. This time he meets four very different patients, who all have one thing in common: they are doomed to be there. The mental illness makes the patients dangerous to those around them. Consequently, physical restraint, isolation, and communicating through reinforced glass may be a necessary part of daily life at Sikringen.
In a society governed by the rule of law, such as Denmark, there are people who look after those we would rather forget. At 'Sikringen' in Slagelse, these are the 'men in blue'—and women, too. Here, the risk of assault is so ever-present that security is a fundamental condition of daily life. It is a delicate balancing act between providing care and the use of force. In addition to the staff at 'Sikringen', Anders Agger also gets the chance to speak with two patients—individuals he has not met until now.
In Denmark, it is the courts that decide who becomes a patient at the high-security psychiatric unit, *Sikringen*, in Slagelse. This time, Anders Agger meets a patient who—consistently, ever since his arrival—maintains that he is not in the right place. He questions whether his stay at *Sikringen* constitutes treatment or punishment.
The vast majority of patients at Sikringen suffer from a very severe form of schizophrenia. Treatment requires great patience, as the average length of stay at Sikringen is between 10 and 12 years. For some patients, this treatment can involve high doses of psychotropic medication, electroconvulsive therapy, and physical restraint. Kia also suffers from schizophrenia, and she has been going through a rough patch since she last spoke with Anders Agger.
