Toilet

Toilet

I suppose the encasement prevented the patient from smashing the toilet.

Now that's just strange, I have never seen a toilet setup like that, you'd think they would use a Metal toilet insetad.

Anything that could be used to cut or slash wrists was not to be encouraged. This rules a metal crapper out - and explains why the smash proof measures are in place here.

They likely used to go through quite a few toilets from being repeatedly jumped on until they started with the concrete. The sink is probably high enough to deter most jumping.

Can you imagine how cold that must have been to sit on??? Ugh...

That's gotta be annoying if you ever need to fix the plumbing.

Nice to see Turbozute's interests are as international as my own, but I'd query how a metal toilet bowl could be used to slash wrists. Bit difficult to smash a metal toilet, I'd have thought. Doubtless he knows better.

I want to know which way the water flowed when it flushed, clockwise or counter clockwise?

Surprisingly, it flowed both ways at once, which caused the person sitting on it to get soaked! Not unlike a sitz bath, really... :D

Counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Or, did I fall for an urban legend?

Yeah, but it's a really convincing myth...

Okay, you all making me loopy. I live in southwestern Georgia close to Florida state line. I went and flushed our toilet and it flushed counterclock wise. I never noticed that. Learn something new every day!

A ceramic toilet can be smashed to create sharp edges and metal parts / edges can be pulled back or fashioned into sharp edges.

Nonetheless, if someone really wants to hurt themselves, they can simply just smash their head into it over and over. Violent patients will do the unthinkable.

Another reason the toilet may have been encased is so that no ligatures (e.g. a sweatshirt) can be tied round the base of the toilet, taken up and over the toilet and then tied around the neck of the person in the cell. It is possible for a person to 'hang' themselves in this way if the ligature is taught enough as the person will lie on the ground and 'suspend' their upper body weight upon the ligature around their neck. Sounds outlandish but unfortunately I have heard of this happening in a police cell.

a toilet with a push button flusher on the wall would be fun for nutcases to play with but hey, it gave the secluded patients somethin to do lol.

Check out Acorn Industries, they manufacture stainless steel sink/toilet units for penal institutions. In my 23 years as a maintenance supervisor in a penal institution I, nor, to my knowledge, have any of my fellow maintenance professionals, ever encountered one of these units being destroyed to provide metal for shanks. These things are just to well built.
