Pilgrim State Hospital

The Pilgram Psychiatric Center in Long Island could house as many as 14,000 patients at a time. This self-sufficient mental asylum adopted extremely aggressive methods of ‘curing the insane’ especially when it had too many patients. Lobotomies and electric shock therapy were the norm. However, the doctors at this asylum started using large doses of insulin and metrozol to drive patients into a violent coma, just to be rid of them.
