    I lived on Blackwells Island (now Roosevelt Island) for a few years when I was a kid. My father's company was funding the restoration projects of the hospitals. They let me explore the old ruins of the smallpox hospital and the grounds of other old hospitals there.
    Then I read Nellie Blys book (Ten Days in the Madhouse ) and only then did I realize how eerie every building was. Mind blowing living somewhere with so much history as a child and being so unaware of it.
    Really was an astounding and powerful place.

    . traveled around the around the world (becoming the inspiration behind Around the World in 80 Days)
    . got arrested when she's covering news on World War 1 for suspicion of being a spy (which makes her one of the earliest female war correspondents)

      Optimus Prime I have worked in a psychiatric care facility as a CCA for 2 1/2 years now. We recognize the negative impacts of social isolation & only utilize intensive psychiatric care rooms for these purposes when there is an immediate risk to the physical well being of either residents or staff. Patients are not to be kept in isolation alone ever without a constant staff assigned to attend to their needs & protect the client. This is used for as little time as possible.

He said the only people that questioned him and said he didn’t belong there were the other patients.

      It depends on his ailment and the facility itself. Some mental hospitals are kind of nice and cushy. Most of them are just tolerable. Fortunately, the conditions are generally better than they were years ago. We've come a long way from psychological disorders treated with ice picks and exorcisms.

Many of these residents have been left there by there kids who come like once a month to visit. And many of these elderly people have lost their will to protest and are just waiting to die.

    By reading the title, I thought she got stuck in there.
    Looks very easy to get admitted back then. Nowadays, it's nigh impossible to get people admitted that really need to be admitted. Someone can spout off all day long about spraying up a school or knifing people at the mall and the authorities will just say there's no reason to admit them until they actually go an do it, despite whatever heaping amount of evidence there is.
