Résumé
In 1935, a new kind of institution opened on a farm outside Lexington, KY. The United States Narcotic Farm was not just a prison for drug addicts, but was also a hospital. Patients received medical treatment, psychotherapy, and vocational therapy,… such as working the farm or learning a trade. "Narco" also provided multiple forms of recreation, most notably music. However, the high rate of relapse led to the program's closure in 1974 and the facility now serves as a medical center for federal inmates. 2008
