i also had the pleasure of working with one of the patients in the class action lawsuit brought against pennhurst. talk about a wild ride that was. the ride wasnt so depressing as most of the patients now live in mini institutions called group homes, most people just do not hear about the abuse that still goes on with these patients, no i never worked at pennhurst, i worked in the group homes for 12 years, and most would be surprised. cannot answer alot of questions anyone may have but i will give a email here where someone can get ahold of me. wrkinonrn@aol.com, just put in pennhurst in subject and they will get the questions to me if i can answer them i will email you back.
