 Progress In Asylums Since Bedlam

  Alen J Salerian MD

   February 20, 2015

  There seems to be some progress in asylums from 1814 England to 2014 America .

  James Norris was chained to a pole in his cell at Bedlam in 1814. Once a photo was published showing Norris in shackles the public uproar led to the resignation of  Dr.Thomas Monro the principal physician at Bedlam. Some bad things continued for a while . Such as, for profit organized tours of caged patients on weekends and holidays.  The paying visitors would watch shackled people behind bars occasionally poking  patients with sticks to elicit a hostile response.

   I was not chained to a pole at FMC Butner in 2014. For days I was in solitary confinement with one hour of light and 23 hours of darkness. I slept naked in my urine and feces. My anus and testicles were inspected visually not poked. I was caged outdoors but no visitors came by.

  The progress in asylums is real. from 1814 Bedlam  Dr. Monro  lost his job . Not my FMC Butner doctors.
