A girl I know is in a psychiatric hospital after a failed suicide attempt.
She really really wants to die. She told me she has a plan to escape and it's very plausible. Should I call the hospital and tell them she wants to escape or respect her wish to die. Her life is really shit and has been absolutely terrible for at least 15 years.
I'm in a fucked up position. Please give some advice.
Let her do what she wants. Who are you to tell her what she should do with her life?
To be honest, it's very unlikely that she will escape anyway

Tell someone important about her escape attempt. If she ends it now there is no chance of recovery - if she tries recovery and still wants to die, she has all the time in the world.
Do what it takes to give her a second chance. She doesn't have to take it, but she deserves the option.
Trust me, I went through some fucking rough times, but I got my second chance and here I am.

This. If you've ever been to one of these places you would know security is pretty tight to prevent lawsuits.

She's going to be be send to a hospital for her broken arm and wants to run away during this time. She's very fast.

Well that is the time to "escape"... I've waited with someone at a hospital before they were admitted to a pysch hospital and you can easily get away.
Anyway, don't give her any attention. If she really wanted to die she'd be dead. She's just crying for attention.

So tell the police. If they havn't already, they will put her on suicide watch (possibly handcuffing if they deem her a true risk.)
Are you really ok with letting a friend die without giving them a chance to recover? Death is final. Treatment is at worst a waste of time.

Can you tell us more about her current situation? It's kind of hard to tell you anything solid without details when it comes to these things.
In any case for her own safety you should mention this to her doctor or people in charge.
