I can't remember his name, but there was an English criminal who pretended to be crazy to get put in a psych hospital, found out it was worse than prison, then had to stay there because the doctors wouldn't believe that it was an act. Maybe a Brit can remember who he is/was.
I'm not sure if you're misremembering or not but I know that there was a case where a journalist successfully managed to get themselves committed so that they could write about the conditions within.
And it took them quite some time to get released because they've done such a good job of pretending to be crazy to get in.
If it's the same one I'm thinking of, once he got out he raised an uproar over it because it was a clear sign people making decisions about who should be free or not in mental institutions weren't as good at it as they claimed to be and they challenged him to send others and they'd catch them this time.
A while later, they said, "See? We caught 3 of your guys!" But they hadn't sent any.
Don't know if it's based on reality but this is the plot of 'One Flew over Cuckoo's Nest'
