Mansfield Training School

Mansfield was opened in 1917 when two hospitals in the area merged. They opened to 402 patients and by 1932 it skyrocketed 1,070 residents. The hospital was very overcrowded and even had a long waiting list. Mansfield had allegations of poor conditions and abuse, and had many lawsuits about conditions. By 1960's there were 1,6009 patients and 875 staff. By the 1970's and 80's patients started to be transferred to group homes and by 1991 they only had 141 patients. In 1993 Mansfield closed and was purchased by University of Connecticut, though some buildings were left abandoned.
