Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Patton State Hospital is one of California's institutions for the criminally insane. Asylum takes us behind the walls of this facility, presenting straightforward accounts of the lives of several inmates and the medical treatment they receive on their journey to mental wholeness. The patients suffer from manic depression and aggressive persecution complexes that have triggered crimes ranging from murder and arson to poodle bashing. As noted by one of Patton's staff members, "They don't get any worse than they get here; we're the bottom line for the treatment of psychosis." Written by Sundance Film Festival |
