Treatment of mentally ill worse than 1800's?

One thing I've always liked about the NY Times is that after they discover wrongdoing, they continue to hammer away day after day. Here's the second (to the best of my knowledge) installment in their thread on Seaport Manor. This one appears to be even more disturbing than the first. Here, Life Is Squalor and Chaos. A Times investigation shows that Seaport Manor, an adult home for the mentally ill in Brooklyn, is gripped by drug abuse, loan-sharking, prostitution and violence. By Clifford J. Levy.
