Like many state run #psychiatrichospitals, Marlboro State Hospital was a troubled institution. This video is somewhat of a #recovery story, and is a tribute to the more than nine hundred souls who suffered there and now rest in its #cemetery.

A quick internet search into its history is a depressing lesson in #patientcare, #patientabuse, hospital mismanagement, and, ultimately a failed effort to make a suitable living space and treatment center for those with #mentalillness.
Though surely there were many good people who worked hard to make the lives of the residents better, the number of stories about the lack of care and abuses suffered there are overwhelming.
Many of these kinds of #hospitals were very painful places. Unfortunately, when they closed, nothing better took their place. And despite best intentions, many of the #mentallyill persons ended up in the streets, rather than woven into the community, as many health practitioners had hoped would happen.
