While watching the institutional videos, I could not help but think about how the residents felt while living in such horrible institutions. Throughout the clips, there was a common theme within each that the residents of institutions were not treated the same as many other civilians.

The videos on Pennhurst,…

juvenile named Brendan Dassey, also his nephew, was in school when two private investigators came into Brendan Dassey’s classroom, pulled him out, took him to the station, and interrogated him for more than three hours! Brendan Dassey was in the interrogation room without an adult there with him. Brendan also has an IQ of 69 total, so it would make sense that the investigators could easily manipulate Brendan into saying what they wanted to hear. They finally got Brendan Dassey to say what they…
