History

Despite the awards given Moose Lake State Hospital in 1949 for being restraint free, staff at that hospital placed residents with mental retardation in restraint chairs from the 1970s until the institution was closed in the 1990s. The facility was then turned over to the state prison system and it remains a medium security prison today.
