The Asylums of Massachusetts
Manage episode 281490188 series 2849561
Starting in the mid 1800s, state-run mental facilities started caring for patients all across Massachusetts. What started with the intent to help 'cure' people turned into an overcrowded nightmare where patients were experimented on, abused, and neglected. In this episode I talk about a number of institutions and the history there, like how Paul A. Dever School was a former WWII POW camp and the grisly murder of Anne Marie Davee at Metropolitan State Hospital.
