I worked in ci for 19 years and was laid off before they closed but as cruel as it sounds the patients were much better off there, than when they were released, they were put on the streets of ny city to fend for themselves many that were living there for years were not able to exist on the streets of the city and suffered from cold and hunger the money they got from social security was stolen and there medicin was either taken away or they were not able to receive it as they were taken care of for so many yearsby the state. If you were institutionalised for a long time it is impossible to exist on your own in a strange place
