In this episode, we almost finish the history of Ararat/Aradale Mental Hospital. We begin by discussing deinstitutionalization around the world and in Victoria more specifically. Learn about the one man who changed legislation to keep him locked up.
All sources will be listed at the end of the episode transcript. Special shout out to David Waldron for allowing me to use his book Aradale: The Making of a Haunted Asylum (authors David Waldron, Sharn Waldron, and Nathaniel Buchanan).
