During the September massacres of 1792, the Salpêtrière was stormed on the night of 3/4 September by a mob from the impoverished working-class district of the Faubourg Saint-Marcel, with the avowed intention of releasing the detained street-girls; 134 of the prostitutes were released; twenty-five madwomen were less fortunate and were dragged, some still in their chains, into the streets and murdered.[2] Madame Roland, a Girondin supporter of the Revolution in its first liberalising stages, recorded in her Memoirs that the Revolution "has been stained by villains and become hideous".[3]

At Butner Kay was asked if she wanted to wear pajamas or a gown. She chose the pajamas because the gown made her feel more vulnerable to being assaulted. The nurse then said, you put on the gown. Kay refused and was sent to seclusion where she was strapped down. The orderly crawled all over her strapping her down rather than having another nurse assist.
I was also strapped down at NCCIW Prison but they did not crawl all over me to do it.
