Take a soothing stroll through the corridors of a Victorian-era mental asylum — where the diagnosis is vague, the therapy is worse, and your odds of leaving are comfortably near zero. From surprise enemas to unpaid labor, from moral treatment that isn't to staff who definitely shouldn't — this video explores what life was actually like behind those ivy-covered walls.Whether you were a woman with opinions, a pauper with bad timing, or simply caught talking to yourself near a bakery, congratulations — you now qualify for a lifetime of “care.” Expect cold porridge, electroshock, some light gardening, and eventually, the slow erosion of everything that once made you a person.Sleep-friendly narration. Terrifyingly accurate history. Because sometimes, the best lullaby is the sound of your own sanity unraveling.
