Listed here are some of the reasons you could have gotten committed to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia in the late 19th-century. If they still put people in institutions for problems such as these, we would all be inmates. "Bad Company" would have covered the majority of people I know. Asthma? Kicked inthe head by a horse? I think they found the wrong hospital. Apparently, any kind of masturbation meant you were shipped off. "False confinement" really gets me- that's probably related to "Politics."
What is really chilling is to think of how difficult it was back then to get OUT of an asylum. Found at Dangerous Minds.

Shot your son? Well, that's perfectly alright. Shot your daughter? Off to the loony bin!

It makes much more sense the way you explain it. In the sense of false commitment, just about all these cases would fit!

I believe that "false confinement" would refer to pretending to be pregnant or believing you are pregnant when you actually are not. Confinement is a (somewhat archaic) tem for pregnancy or the process of giving birth.

"Bad Whiskey" would do anyone in!
