I grew up one street away from this place. I don't watch tv or movies. I do not play video games. The landmark court case that closed Pennhurst is public record. It is a class action suit known as Halderman vs. Pennhurst State School and Hospital. It was found that patients were in fact abused. Cut and paste the following web address.

There is also a document if anyone is interested called Lost In A Desert World by Roland Johnson, a long-term patient at Pennhurst. Please don't discount patient testimony or dismiss truths just because they happen to be ugly. Care enough to look.
