So half of Nellie Bly's trailblazing piece of stunt journalism "10 Days in a Mad-House" doesn't take place in a madhouse. This week we follow Nellie Bly through a slice of New York's boarding houses, police precincts and hospitals. We get a taste of what it's like to be processed by the systems that handle those on the margins of society. Mostly we have fun with the conventions of Gilded Age America and what passed for food in those days.
