Why in hell are there things called "bail" and "time served" that apply to mental treatment? Do they think it's some kind of crime that has to be punished?

c22 is "speaking as someone who has been in jail and also involuntarily committed on multiple occasions". The bail and time served are regarding the jail time, not the mental treatment.
