The Connecticut Psychiatric Hospital was more like a pleasant clubhouse—with metal bars.
As the attendant escorted Ashley through the long, cheerful corridors, Ashley watched the inmates freely walking back and forth.
There were people of every age, and all of them seemed normal. Why are they here?
Some of them smiled at her and said, “Good morning,” but Ashley was too bewildered to answer.

They reached a large steel door that closed off a part of the building. There was a male attendant behind the door.
He pressed a red button and the huge door opened. “This is Ashley Patterson.” The second attendant said, “Good morning, Miss Patterson.”
They made everything seem so normal. But nothing is normal anymore, Ashley thought. The world is upside down.
“This way, Miss Patterson.” He walked her to another door and opened it. Ashley stepped inside.
Instead of a cell, she was looking at a pleasant, medium-size room with pastel blue walls, a small couch and a comfortable-looking bed.
