I would've thought they'd be locked in a psychiatric ward for a while until they get cleared

Idk, better to have your agency than be stuck in a box. The criminalization of suicide is fucking stupid.

Nah, lots of suicide attempts are the results of pressure built up in the moment and people getting all worked up into a panic or despair over things. If I have to be held for a couple days, but as a result I'm alive when I might not otherwise be, I'll take that deal. Most people would.
