Every time they had failed, often with a corpse, he would cry to the press and talk of how the Devil did its work, and that the patient was in God's hands now. For decades these experiments went on, the press labeling Brigade as an angel of the Lord, his publicity landing him more and more patients seeking the God's work. Finally, in 1897, after Brigade suffered "lung failure", the asylum closed and the police found out the truth of what laid behind those doors.

It was a seemingly ordinary California night—warm and peaceful— as I turned a corner and walked down a street of makeshift tents, the only place hundreds of men, women, and children could call their homes.

It started raining yesterday on the trip here. The open wagon provided no cover, no comfort. What little things we had brought were soaked through. Mr. Avery, our driver, was a very harsh man. He gave no consolation or pity. Nothing but hate. A wicked old man he was. The wagon ride felt like torture. It was the longest four hours of my life. There was no conversation.

That woman, Ms. Ada Jaggs, was a witch in every sense of the word. And worst of all my husband and son will be separated from me while we are here.

She leaped out of bed to find help, only to see her blood stained father’s grinning face blocking the

What would instil fear in anyone else excited her; she had arrived at her new job as a nurse, at Acacia Men’s Prison.
