There is a lunatic asylum in Bolivar, Tennessee.

Business is slow in Bolivar, and in Milledgeville, which is where my state's nuthouse is.
Because as a culture we have decided it is more humane to let the lunatics roam amongst us. To institutionalize them is cruel, as they might miss their fucking Friday cupcake. Better to let them be free, so that random mass murders might exhibit themselves, and allow us to politicize it, and finger our opponents. Much better than locking up the lunatics. -- Velociworld: The Looney Bin

Your Say

There is a lunatic asylum in Osawatomie, Kansas, too. And one in most all states, maybe even more than one.

My mother was committed to this one in Kansas, which still exists, as far as I know, but not as crazy looking.

It pricks the mind, remembering my visits to see her there as a kid:

Milledgeville was also the home of the late Flannery O'Connor.
