I know we have a long history of abusing our mentally ill in the name of science. I'm looking for a book that details what types of experiments were performed in insane asylums between 1875 -> 1980.
I know two facilities near me have a track record of such abuse but be damned if I can find out more about what went on there...
for those curious on which sites I'm referring the Oregon State Insane Asylum (renamed the Oregon State Hospital and Oregon State Institute for the Feeble Minded (renamed Salem's Fairview Training Center before it's closure in 2000)
Interesting Fact: One Flew Over the Cuckoo?s Nest, starring a young(er) Jack Nicholson was filmed primarily in the Oregon State Hospital.
