I think we have very different definitions of control.

To me, having control over when I leave is being able to walk out of the building at any time. Full autonomy. Having to petition some entity is the antithesis of control from my point of view.

You don't petition anyone. Unless you were committed or attempted suicide, you get to sign yourself out. I've seen it happen.

I have seen it NOT happen.
