RE: A "Self-Sufficient" Institution: Peonage at Pennhurst in 1918

I agree completely. I think what upset me most as I read about it was how those running the institution seemed to feel as though this was a legitimate option for cutting costs. It's just one more example of the dehumanization people face when they're hidden away; whether that be in a prison or an institution for people with disabilities.
