Time Served

The year 1909.

Carrie White, age 35 husband left her at the Florida Insane Asylum. The reason for her stay is recorded today as frivolous. A non-medical reason.
 She stayed with maniacs behind the same walls for 75-years.
In 1984 at 110 years-old she was released to a nursing home. Her guardian Marjorie Allen tells of White not recalling her time at the asylum.
   In the past year at the home when mentally alert Allen asked about her past. White's husband ,parents, and other such people. Allen noticed a wall went up as if White harbored resentment. (I can see that)
