Walter is just an average middle-class American in the 1870s. This all changes when he is instituted into Robertson State Penitentiary, on the account of wild mood swings and anxiety problems? (This story is based off of the asylums in the late 1800s, before many of the revolutionary changes in penitentiary and asylums occurred. This story is entirely fictional and is not meant to represent a specific persons life, or a specific place. It is merely my speculation and idea of what it would be like in one. This is also one of my first stories I've ever posted, so criticism is much appreciated! Although keep the criticism respectful, and constructive.)
