Before Crownsville, this patient had been living on the Eastern Shore. One afternoon, the woman stepped onto a busy road and startled a horse. The horse reared back and frightened its rider, a local white woman. For the “crime” of frightening a white woman on a road, this woman spent years at Crownsville. That was all Joyce could see in documents about her psychiatric history.
