November 1, 1999, Colorado.

In the sparsely populated mountains of western Colorado sat the unsuspecting former mining town of Crested Butte. What seemed to be just another small town with a population barely in the thousands was secretly a coverup for the state's largest underground correctional facility for the mentally deranged. The facility boasts an over 100 square mile floor plan, housing over 10,000 patients in some of the most shockingly inhumane conditions possible.
