Amy Winehouse’s Dad Wants Her Locked Up In A Mental Home Mitch Winehouse, father of beehived bandit Amy, has told the News of the World that he wants his daughter to be sectioned. Just yesterday there were reports that Amy didn’t want her husband to come out of jail. What is it about this family that makes them want to incarcerate their closest relatives so much? Love? And by ‘mental’ home, we don’t mean it in the modern-youthful sense of the word (i.e. a ‘wicked-fun time’) as if the hospice was run by clowns who could heal patient’s injuries with heavy doses of laughter. We mean it in the traditional sense; the Syd Barrett sense; the Jon Bon Jovi sense.
