Some staff are good, and some are bad (just like anywhere else), but it looks & feels like an old Soviet hospital. You would get depressed living here.

Back in the 1960s this place killed my aunt. They said she died on the operating table while they were trying to do surgery on her brain but she had 4 inches of hair on her head so there is no way she died on that table. They killed her and covered it up. If I ever had to go here I would rather die first.

While I have not been a patient of this institution, this building's stance on the landscape is testament to the egos of the doctors who occupy this space and to those who founded it. This cold, heavy, gray stone institutional looking structure stands atop a hill, directly on axis with S. Park St. in Madison, WI. As a result, that I'm convinced is no coincidence, everyone who looks at the lake from the student union building, (the primary gathering place for U-Mad students) must also look at this looming, oppressive, monstrosity. That is to say, "when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back".

It truly makes one wonder as to the relationship between The University of Madison and this institution, especially considering the nick-names for Madison such as U-Mad and Mad-Town... (Get it? Mad, as in crazy). Having studied landscape architecture, the relationship between buildings and designed spaces is undeniable. Madison is known for being a colorful, eccentric, town and I would not be the least bit surprised to find that it is used as a lab for human experimentation. Mendota has a large pool of people to study (young, naive, open minded students) and the opportunity to learn about human behavior. Worst case scenario is they drive a few of them crazy with their experiments and they gain new in-house patients to study further. 

The last paragraph is pure speculation but it is interesting to note that a facility such as Mendota, that dates back to the 1880's, has such a sparkling image on-line. It has been around long enough that it has experienced no less than 3 changes in schools of thought regarding treatment. Historically, outdated modes of treatment for the mentally ill are almost always viewed as crude, archaic, and borderline criminal, yet, it is very difficult to find anything negative about the facility, which surely means that atrocities have been covered up. It would be interesting to uncover the true history of Mendota. (What are the connections? CIA? MK Ultra? Human experimentation? Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron?) Lets get it out in the open and then tear down that blight on the landscape. The people of Madison deserve to look out onto a beautiful lake... not to have a mental institution watching over their every move...

My uncle Ed got some pretty great care in his waning years here. They also taught him how to use his skills as a tanner and convert them to creating crafts from cow hide instead.

Worst place !!!! People are rude and nosie they  hang up in the middle of conversations. They talk negative to the patients. I can't stand them they are racist they believed I called but don't have a date and time. They tried to argue with me they claim I'm being inappropriate all that. Then they claim they know my voice and there "Supervisor" claim I did the mess too but still have no evidence but they gone find out real soon .
