Servitude and Salvation for Intellectually-Challenged Men (2016)
from Viewpoints Radio · host Evan Rook, Gary Price, Marty Peterson, Ebony McMorris | AURN
If you came upon a rundown, roach-infested bunkhouse in the heartland of America, full of middle-aged and elderly men in poor health who worked all day at a job for little pay and had been for decades, you might think you had time traveled back to the 19th century. We talk to an author who writes about this very situation where mentally challenged men had been pressed into servitude in 1974 and remained there until 2009 when some determined and caring social workers stepped in to help them.
