While a reporter for the New York World in 1887, investigative journalist Nellie Bly feigned insanity to be admitted to the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island, now Roosevelt Island in New York's East River. She was 23. Nellie studied the institution from the inside out for ten days before publishing her accounts of the appalling treatment of the patients inside.
