Entering the asylum was always drudgery‚ especially at its now increased frequency. Being strikingly dull and depressing‚ the process was ingrained in my mind.

The New Asylum Watching the documentary‚ the New Asylum opened my eyes a lot. I have heard the saying‚ “prisons are the new asylum” plenty of times‚ but I did not believe it to be true until watching the documentary.
