The treatment brings about uncontrolled vomiting that lasts from 15 minutes to an hour, accompanied by a temporary cardiovascular effect involving changes in the blood pressure. Another drug induces vomiting and was administered to prisoners who didn’t get up on time or caught swearing or lying, or even not greeting their guards formally.It is “likened to dying, it is almost like drowning” the experiment states. The individual remains fully conscious and is gasping for breath. This condition, together with respiratory arrests, sets in for as long as two to five minutes before the drug begins to wear off. The heart slows down to about 60 beats per minute.
Within 30 to 40 seconds paralysis begins to invade the small muscles of the fingers, toes, and eyes and then the intercostal muscles and diaphragm.
Another experiment creates a muscle relaxant. When a meal is delivered, one wrist is unlocked so he could feel around in the dark for his food and attempt to pour liquid down his throat without being able to lift his head. He is left in a darkened cell, unable to remove his body wastes. His wrists and ankles are cuffed to the board and his head is rigidly held in place by a strap around his neck and a helmet on his head. A naked inmate is strapped down on a board. Here are just a few experiments used in the mind-control program: One individual, for example, was arrested for joyriding, given a two-year sentence and held for mind-control experiments. Those subject to the mind-control experiments would be given indefinite sentences, his freedom was dependent upon how well the experiment went. Many of the case histories concerning individuals of whom the mind-control experiments were used, show a strange concept in the minds of those seeking guinea pigs. That condemnation, however, did not halt mind-control experiments, they just received more circuitous funding. Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights studying the subject of “Individual rights and the Federal role in behavior modification.” Though little publicity was given to this committee’s investigation, Senator Erwin issued a strong condemnation of the federal role in mind control. In 1974, Senator Sam Ervin, of Watergate fame, headed a U.S. Government experiments also were conducted in the Haight-Ashbury District in San Francisco at the height of the Hippy reign. Health, Education and Welfare Department, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Central Intelligence Agency through the Phoenix Program, the Stanford Research Institute, the Agency for International Development, the Department of Defense, the Department of Labor, the National Institute of Mental Health, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, and the National Science Foundation.Ĭalifornia has been in the forefront of mind-control experimentation. Funding and experimentations of mind control have been part of the U.S. Minority children were subjected to experimentation at abandoned Nike Missile Sites, veterans who fought for American freedom were also subjected to the programs. But, it is not just in the penal society that mind-control measures have been used. Mind-control experiments have been part of California for decades and permeate mental institutions and prisons. A deeper probe into the death of these two inmates unravels a mind-boggling tale of horror that has been part of California penal history for a long time, and one that caused national outcries two decades ago.
No media inquiries were made, no major news stories developed because of these deaths.īut what was the medical treatment that may have caused their deaths? The Medical Facility indicates they were mind control or behavior modification treatments. Two of those prisoners, the announcement said, may have died as a result of medical treatment.
There was just a small news announcement on the radio in early July after a short heat wave, three inmates of Vacaville Medical Facility had died in non-air conditioned cells.
