  • Built by Geniuses to Be Run by the Inmates
    Bui lt by Geni us es to be Run by the Inmates Introduction This page ( http://www.historicasylums.org/ ) is an attempt to catalog and pre s e nt Ame ri c a's hi s tori c ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals ( s tate hospitals; insane asylums) founded mostly in the latter half of the 19th century. The site gives special emphasis on the facilities built on the "Kirkbride plan", but it is not necessarily limited to the Kirkbride hospitals. The Kirkbride plan and the resulting bui ldi ngs represented great ambiti on on the part of both ps ychi atri c caregi vers and archi tects . Known Ki rkbri de hos pi tals are i ndi cated by a cli ckable Ki rkbri de label Type: Kirkride in the listings. Asylums outside of this scope, such as ones constructed in the 20th century are also included. To some, the asylums of the 19th century represent a darker period in mental health care, with involuntary incarcerati on, barbaric and ineffective treatments, and abuse of patients. However, there is also a legacy of progressive institutional treatment left by Dorothea Dix, Thomas Story Kirkbride, John Galt, and others represented by these buildings and sites. The sites that remain stand in monument to the successes and failures of these reforms and their efforts. The treatments and philosophies seem rather outdated and quant today, but at the time were a considered to be great improvement in the treatment of people perceived in need of psychiatric care. A large proportion of these historic institutions are no longe r ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals .

Introduction 1. Plaintiffs are individuals with mental retardation who are institutional- ized in Pennsylvania’s state psychiatric hospitals. Plaintiffs bring this lawsuit on behalf of themselves and over 100 other people with mental retardation who are con- fined in Pennsylvania’s state psychiatric hospitals. Case 3:09-cv-01112-CCC Document 1 Filed 06/11/09 Page 2 of 39 2. Plaintiffs and many other putative class members are appropriate for placement in community settings and are not opposed to such placements. Defen- dants, however, have not offered them any alternative to remaining institutionalized, even though the costs of providing community services to them would be far less than the costs of continuing to institutionalize them. Defendants also have not developed or implemented an integration plan with concrete timelines and benchmarks to offer and provide community alternatives to Plaintiffs and other individuals with mental retardation who are unnecessarily institutionalized in state psychiatric hospitals and are not opposed to community placement.
