Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane

Secluded from the mainland, the historic Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane was originally owned by Amadeus Arkham, and was named after his mother whom he euthanized here as a treatment for her dementia. While originally containing only the Arkham Mansion and the Botanical Gardens, that institution gradually developed and became a medical facility and criminal penitentiary that was dedicated to helping those who were deemed criminally insane and were afflicted with extreme mental illnesses.
