Here is a small blurb about JRC.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Rotenberg_Center
"The Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) is a pseudoscientific therapeutic institution in Canton, Massachusetts, United States, whose behavior modification program targeted at people with developmental disabilities and emotional and behavioral disorders has been condemned by the United Nations special rapporteur on torture. The center is known for its use of the graduated electronic decelerator (GED), a torture device that administers electric shocks to residents."
Note, dear reader. Wikipedia doesn't say 'was' a pseudoscientific therapeutic institution... it says 'is'.
This place exists, has income, buys BMWs for the upper staff, is incorporated into the fabric of our society. We live right next to this victorian-era shit.
