My Grandmother worked there for almost 30 years and my mother started working there after she turned 17. My grandmother quit when it go so bad that the "patients" were having sex and she was not alloweed to stop it. She brought home 2 children every chirstmas and on holidays because they really were not "retarded" in the general sence......they just couldnt read and write and their IQ was about 69. They got worse from being in that place.
