Dr. Colin Ross | MK ULTRA: Mind Control, Psychiatry, & The CIA
State Mental Hospitals, Networks of Abuse
During the 1940s and 50s, state mental hospitals functioned as "snake pits" where patients were subjected to brutalization, providing an easy pool of subjects for mind control experiments. A distributed network of prestigious universities, including Harvard and Yale, participated in this research. St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington D.C. is highlighted as a primary site for these activities, often involving LSD experimentation and sensory deprivation.
