Bedlam, which was actually a corruption of the Biblical Bethlehem, this is or was located in England. Kings County in Brooklyn, Bellevue in Manhattan- one notes very smooth- Golf course sounding names to the Funny Houses- Woodbridge, Willowbrook, for example, Bellevue I stated earlier. The state hospitals for the Criminally Insane, they are the real abodes of the lost souls. Guards routinely carry firearms and doctors are authorized, though not required to pack weapons. As you can guess from the name- criminally Insane people are all convicted of crimes- but have pleaded Insanity. Nice people to stay away from. The ACLU correctly calls the Criminally Insane hospitals ( Prison Mental hospitals) which is what they are.
