right. As the patients were braught to intake they had thier clothes violently ripped off. Then they were literally thrown into the room and the door slammed. Then using a 5gal. pail they threw hot water on them they were instructed to soap down if they did not comply they would be stunned via a cattle prod. Then the door opened and the staff would soap them up making sure they cleaned the cavities which they logged as a medical intake exam. On occasion patients died which were logged as suicides. All dead bodies were incinerated along with all trash. Those ashes were put into a compost pile outside which was used as fertilizer for the property which was mixed with horse and cow maneure. The basement was used for electroshock therapy and experimental brain surgeries some were lobotomies and some were not. Most were conducted for the purpose of internship. The interns came from New London and Backus Hospital. The basementwas the last resort for only those who were die hards. Meds and torture didn't work.
