it turned out to be chalk powder.

Umm.. what is a "medical prison?"

I'm assuming it's not a mental institution because of this quote:

The only thing that makes sense to me is that its possibly a hospital for high security inmates.

Nothing came up on wikipedia or google for medical prison. Can someone please enlighten me?

Edit: Never mind... a simple search would have confirmed my suspicions.
