Yes they did give injections of hep to kids. They knew they were going to catch it anyway, so they experimented with "syrums." Another little known fact, about 30% of inmates were just "incorageable" kids with NO psych or mental illness.... Hey Jing4, send me an email and we'll do lunch and I can show you some stuff to blow your mind.

Hey Matt... Was there today. The doors are gone!!! Has anyone heard about the story of "Mikey" and the cemetary? Saw the cemetary, and it was dfinitely spooky.

GWEN - Send me an email when you can. I have access to a ton of records on former residents, as well as being in communication with them. Don't know if I can help, but could definitely try.

They were underfunded, hence had a staff of lesser qualifications. More that 10% of direct care workers had criminal records. Check the archives. Its a known fact. And as far as the rapes, how can you explain the pregnancies of the mentally retarded women that were segregated from men, other than staff. And the autopsy records of pregnant patients?

By the way, this pic isnt where the bodies were stored before burial, it was where they were stored before they were experimented on. Its located in a hallway just outside the "expirement" room which contains tables and drains.

For all those interested in a type of study, feel free to contact me. I have been touring this place for about 3 months now. I've been getting a lot of pics. The creepiest thing is that I am touring it with two very mildly retarded people that were both residents of letchworth. The stories that they have will blow your mind. Im thinking of a type of film or documentary to produce that can be used for current mental health workers or sold to benefit such agencies. If anyone would be interested in helping, please contact me, I can use as much information as possible. Thanks.
