In fact, places like this are still in operation and the patient abuses which many of us imagine in the past are still occurring today. Not all psych wards are like this, but this is not the past we're looking at - it's a blissfully abandoned version of the present.

Having just been discharged from a state psychiatric hospital due to major depression, I can speak to the fact that the things we think are in the past... the abuses, the torment both within oneself and from the outside, continue today - behind perpetually locked doors.
