OUT OF MIND, OUT OF SIGHT
Behind the closed doors of a psychiatric hospital, violent offenders fight for a second chance—should society accept them? What happens to people who suffer from mental illnesses and commit violent crimes? Where do they go? How are they treated? Little is known about the facilities—once called asylums for the criminally insane—to which some of these patients are sent. Now known as forensic psychiatric hospitals, these are institutions inside which patients disappear, away from public view for years.
