One of my ICU patients is incarcerated. She keeps asking me when she can go back home. I was a bit confused, like is she out of it or does she really

think she is going home?
The patient's foot is handcuffed to the bed and there is a 24/7 sheriff deputy with her. So I asked the deputy... turns out the patient calls the jail her "home".
Kind of sad.
She is a mid-aged, nice lady. I am curious why she is in jail and how long she has been there (that info is not in our records and I never ask).
