Arkham - the hospital where no-one ever gets better... ever :D

They don't even try. (One time they did try, with Amygdala, he got worse.) But the big problem is security. Go to TV Tropes and look up "Cardboard Prison" to see why Arkham is so bad. (And why Gotham is such a hellhole.)

I work in a psychiatric hospital, so I find Arkham oddly amusing ;)

Though a part of me suspects that the security is terrible for a more sinister reason...

Well, first of all, most of the staff are pretty insane themselves.

First off, lest we forget, Harley used to be a psychiatrist working there.

Then there was Dr. Hugo Strange, and Dr. Jonathan Crane (aka the Scarecrow), both former doctors at Arkham.

Lest we forget Dr. Jeremiah Arhkam himself. At first he was an okay and well-meaning shrink (but had the worst job one could have, running Arkham) only to go off the deep end himself and became the new Black Mask. (Fortunately, he seems okay in The New 52.)
