I would tell you to read “10 Days in a Madhouse” by Nellie Bly. Bly was a journalist who, in 1887, feigned insanity in order to be involuntarily committed into an asylum.

I would say watch The Keepers on Netflix (with trigger warning discretion) which reveals firsthand accounts of the corruption leading to the murder of Catherine Cesnik.
