If you are, or are likely to be, a danger to yourself or others, then there is authority to compel you to take medication.

Maybe. It sounds like your choice, don't take the medications and go to jail. Talk with a local lawyer about the situation. There are too many questions to give you an accurate answer.

Force you how? Pistol, knife? What do you think lawyers are for? If you think the system is not treating you properly hire you a proper lawyer and contend with the system. People with mental issues usually fail to acknowledge their problems or perhaps are not able to do so. In any event get legal help.
