Book Price $0 : For Nearly 80 Years, Pennhurst State School And Hospital Was A Reminder Of How Society Viewed And Treated People With Intellectual Disabilities. Over Its Existence, Pennhurst Was Home To More Than 10,600 People. Many Spent Decades There, Working To Keep The Institution Running By Performing Various Jobs. While Some Enjoyed The Lives They Had Fashioned For Themselves At Pennhurst, For Many Others, Life There Was Crushing. Pennhurst Also Played A Central Role In The Lives Of Its Employees And In The Rural Pennsylvania Community Where It Was Located. Controversy Plagued The Institution For Its Entire Existence, And It Is Remembered Primarily As A Place Where Bad Things Happened. However, It Was Much More Than That. This Book Provides A Window Into That Separate World, Reminding Those Who Were Part Of It Of What They Saw And Did There And Giving Those Who Know Only What They Have Heard Or Seen A Different Picture Of What Pennhurst Truly Was.
