    Being falsely admitted to an insane asylum would be the scariest thing ever...
    Once your deemed insane they dismiss everything you say as craziness.

    I lived on Blackwells Island (now Roosevelt Island) for a few years when I was a kid. My father's company was funding the restoration projects of the hospitals. They let me explore the old ruins of the smallpox hospital and the grounds of other old hospitals there.
    Then I read Nellie Blys book (Ten Days in the Madhouse ) and only then did I realize how eerie every building was. Mind blowing living somewhere with so much history as a child and being so unaware of it.
    Really was an astounding and powerful place.

    . traveled around the around the world (becoming the inspiration behind Around the World in 80 Days)
    . got arrested when she's covering news on World War 1 for suspicion of being a spy (which makes her one of the earliest female war correspondents)
    . became the head of an iron manufacturing company when she took over the business from her sick husband
    . invented new kinds of milk cans, oil drums, and steel cans

      Optimus Prime I have worked in a psychiatric care facility as a CCA for 2 1/2 years now. We recognize the negative impacts of social isolation & only utilize intensive psychiatric care rooms for these purposes when there is an immediate risk to the physical well being of either residents or staff. Patients are not to be kept in isolation alone ever without a constant staff assigned to attend to their needs & protect the client. This is used for as little time as possible.

He said the only people that questioned him and said he didn’t belong there were the other patients.

      One of the greatest movies of all time and it also had a genius plot. That one is shown often in college for those interested in film. I cry at the ending every single time. Good old Chief freed his spirit and left to start over. A twist was that Chief wasn't crazy at all, he just spoke little English and showed signs of having Autism, but was completely sane.

      The Office of the Provost Marshal General (OPMG) supervised[11]:8 the 425,000 German prisoners. They stayed in 700 camps[14] in 46 states; a complete list may not exist because of the small, temporary nature of some camps and the frequent use of satellite or sub-camps administratively part of larger units.[16] Other than barbed wire and watchtowers, the camps resembled standard United States or German military training sites;[12][17][11]:33 the Geneva Convention of 1929 required the United States to provide living quarters comparable to those of its own military,[15] which meant 40 square feet (3.71 m²) for enlisted men and 120 square feet (11.15 m²) for officers.[13]:xxii If prisoners had to sleep in tents while their quarters were constructed, so did their guards.The three admirals and forty generals in custody were sent to Camp Shelby in Mississippi, where each had his own bungalow with a garden.
