In this exclusive interview, we delve into the harrowing story of Steve Smith, who in 1968, embarked on a hitchhiking adventure as an 18-year-old, only to find himself entangled in a nightmare of incarceration, experimentation, and abuse. After a reckless decision led to his arrest, Steve ingested two tabs of acid, leading authorities to misinterpret his drug trip as a mental breakdown. Consequently, he was placed in Ontario's infamous Oak Ridge mental health facility.

At Oak Ridge, Steve found himself among dangerous criminals and under the control of the sinister Dr. Elliot T. Barker. Over eight months, Steve and other patients were subjected to brutal and unorthodox experiments involving various drugs, abuse, and torture.

Following his release, Steve struggled with the aftermath of his Oak Ridge experience, leading to years of incarceration and a return to the facility. However, he eventually turned his life around, becoming a successful entrepreneur. As he investigated his past, shocking revelations about Dr. Barker, Oak Ridge, and Canada's dark history of mental health treatment came to light, raising questions about the true intentions behind the facility's methods: Were they trying to cure psychopaths or create and control them?
