Asylums were first established to care for the unfortunates of society. It was only later they acquired a negative image.

She describes the people who were involved in the creation and maintenance of a medical school, law department, and lunatic asylum in Lexington, Kentucky.
Using historical data, Deese presents a fictionalized narrative to explore this institutions history from 1817 to the 1990sincluding a chapter dedicated to 1906, a pivotal year for Eastern Kentucky Asylum. That year, four employees were charged in the murder of a patient, and this incident set the stage for the past and present history of this facility.
Kentuckys First Asylum provides a historical understanding of one early asylum that became a state hospital and serves to give broader context for the understanding of the current mental health system.
