Mansfield Training School:
"It was active from 1863 to 1993; was initially founded to segregate clients who were mentally retarded, epileptic, or deemed mentally aberrant from the rest of the society.
Patients & staff were moved through a series of underground tunnels that connected building to building.
The Mansfield Training School was a merging of two institutions "to provide for the care, custody, education and employment of mental defective (feeble minded) and epileptic persons."
pre-1915.., name changed from: "Ct Colony for Epileptics" to "CT School for Imbeciles" to "Connecticut Training School for Feeble minded"
1917.. merged with the Connecticut Colony for Epileptics at Mansfield, renamed the Mansfield Training School and Hospital.
1959.. administratively, Mansfield is transferred to the new Office of Mental Retardation in the Dept. of Health
1975... administratively, Mansfield is transferred to the new Dept. of Mental Retardation
1993... Mansfield Training School closes."
The facilities were old and the quality of care was questioned by family members of residents in a 1978 lawsuit, CARC v. Thorne that would eventually result in the closing of the school in 1993.
In the early 1990s the defendants in the lawsuit inappropriately placed "Do Not Resuscitate Orders" in patients' files and withheld CPR.
One patient, Gladys Burr who was placed in this facility in the 1930s only to be found to have IQ scores that climbed, a high school diploma and completion of a short term business class. The doctors ignored all the signs she was placed there incorrectly, finally after 40 years, she was released from the hospital she was transferred to when Mansfield closed. Imagine 40 years .... what could have been.
Some buildings were so dilapidated by this time that they were knocked down, other buildings were transferred to the use of other institutions such as the University of Connecticut and still others were abandoned.
