He's really going. It's kind of freaking me out.

It is.

It is.

And it's, like, how is nobody training them to do a better job? Like, to learn feeding procedures. Because it would cost money. Yeah, exactly. Now, deaths from neglect and torture were just...

skyrocketing at this point there was also punishments like they would be you know thrown into rooms by themselves and left there for days they would be hit with bats they would end up with missing teeth they would be hit with belts like horrible shit horrible shit Mayor Vincent Gray, the director of the D.C. Department of Human Services at the time. Were there human services at the time?

Well, he said he was forever haunted by the place and the sights that were seen, even from the outside there. So he said the place was inhumane. It was a very negative experience. And he told the Washington Examiner his most vivid memory of the place was seeing— and this is very upsetting, just so everyone knows— was seeing nude residents paraded outdoors to be hosed down by staff members.

Oh, my God. Yeah. You have to be demonic to do that to somebody. You have to be demonic. So a Washington Post article, there was a quote in there that said, workers here, because of frustration and lack of help, tend to abuse residents. Of all of our residents, I'd add, some 400 don't belong here. It's difficult. It is difficult. It was difficult.

You can't claim overstimulation and frustration. Like, control yourself. Right. In many incidents, the facility is contributing to the handicap. So they're saying, like, a lot of times these people aren't coming in here with any issues. But they are creating issues while they're here. Right. Medical experiments were happening. They were putting them naked in freezing cold baths. What the fuck?

Which often caused the deaths. Some death certificates would say... Be quiet. Some death certificates would say they died from burns, which is awful. Tons of patients were crowded into padded rooms together and left for days with no food, nowhere to sit, nothing to do. They also utilized adult cribs where they would strap them in there and they wouldn't be able to leave. That's really sad.

There was also a morgue in the basement, obviously, because these places have to have one. That makes sense. But this one was like one that they could like expedite. If someone died, they would just rush them on down there and scoot them out to get buried with no one looking. And they were buried in unmarked graves in a big field right on the property. Mass graves. Like, tons.

That is so fucked up. Nothing. And it's very creepy now because if you look at, like, aerial shots of this place, or if you go there, which, by the way, you can't legally go there. You have to get permission to go there now. It's, like, a government area, and it's patrolled by security guards.

But like they it's you'll get in big trouble now. So I don't want to send anyone there. But if you were to get permission to be on these grounds, you would see that there's depressions in the field. That's the cemetery where these people were buried side by side, like hundreds of them. It's so difficult. It's weird you keep saying that. I know.
