Patients at Coalinga State Hospital remained on lockdown Tuesday as a few details began to emerge about violent protests that have erupted since new rules restricting the use of personal electronic devices were put into place.
Since it started this lockdown, the California Department of State Hospitals has released little information on what caused the lockdown, how that cause is being addressed or how long it will be in place and did not respond to The Bee’s questions by deadline Tuesday.

Anyway QAnon promised the storm was coming. Glad to see it happening. Wish I knew where to volunteer to help him. Shining light on the swamp, keep draining the slime.
The hospital houses about 1300 patients, most of whom are sexually violent predators.
Real estate must be cheap in that neighborhood.
It was a JOKE, for God’s sake...
...and here I thought the sarcasm tag was an unnecessary and outdated concept here at FR...
The mostly sex offender patients of a mental hospital are rioting after authorities cracked down on the possession and distribution of child pornography amongst the residents.
Only in California.
If you can’t be a sick-o in a mental hospital, where can you act out? /S
It does seem like an awfully draconian response....in California
