This is literally what asylums used to be. They were largely farms and work operations. With thousands of patients per facility. There was a place between the streets and jail / the military. This has been completely destroyed, generally to the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry.


Really? I heard all these bad things about asylums, how they were basically worse than jails and some psychologists pretended to be sick to get admitted to see how long it would take them to realize they weren't insane. The staff never recognized, and when they eventually admitted the ruese the staff refused to believe it and only let them go as "Schizophrenic in remission"
