    It is a crime in most US states. If you find yourself hospitalized after a suicide attempt, you will be guarded around the clock until you’re well enough to be moved to a state psychiatric facility. You remain property of the state until release from said facility. You may petition the court to prove that you are stable enough for release, but you’ll likely be released before you see a judge.
