Victim
Ontario's only maximum-security psychiatric hospital has kept severely mentally ill patients locked alone in rooms for years — one man for about 20 years — in conditions an independent reviewer found akin to what the UN "deemed to constitute torture."

Held in continuous seclusion at Waypoint for nearly five years. He was declared on the verge of release from seclusion days after the independent review’s report became public.
