Review of Mental Hospital

. . . in the "Land Rush State," they're immediately locked up in huge asylums, MENTAL HOSPITAL reveals. (Yes, the "N-o-w-h-e-r-e" spelled backwards of the famous novel EREHWON is alive and well, hovering above Texas like a buzzard.) Diabetics are held in such burgeoning facilities for at least six months at a time, enduring "insulin shock therapy"--and these are NOT southern insurgents, but 5th and 6th generation Americans of solid European stock! Parents without enough money to appease their kids also are trucked into these holding centers, doomed to be incarcerated there for the rest of their lives, MENTAL HOSPITAL discloses. The three thousand or more U.S. Citizens confined to each of these pens are required to perform unpaid slave labor, dripping with sweat amid institutional kitchens, laundries, and agricultural fields--or they are tortured with "treatments" such as strait jackets, mind-control pills, and electro-shock. (Don't even get me started on the lobotomy departments!) When "F. Clanton," the Sooner guinea pig featured here, finds himself coerced into smoking his first cigarette--stuffed into his mouth and lit up by his alleged "doctor" (18:15)--perceptive viewers will realize--with blood-curdling horror--that the titular MENTAL HOSPITAL is ACTUALLY a Human Testing Lab for the Big Tobacco Boys! All across America, this MENTAL HOSPITAL expose sparked shocked outrage which saw most such horror shows swiftly closed down, razed, bull-dozed, or imploded during the intervening years. Nowadays, they persist mainly where armadillos go to curl up and die.
