Chris Jancelewicz – A group of psychiatric facilities in Tennessee has been closed after local police found some patients being held against their will.
The Cannon Courier, out of Cannon County, Tenn., reports that the buildings are now permanently closed and three suspects have been charged.
“[We] would like to make the general public of [the] county aware that the facilities are closed and [no longer] operating,” read a statement released by the Cannon County Sheriff’s Department.
Police discovered the facilities, which were no more than tiny cabins and one double-wide trailer, concealed in the wilderness and heavily secured. They described the scene as “a gated, makeshift paddock secured externally with a steel latch.”
