njrick: The "management" owns this asylum; we should not expect them to turn it over to the inmates.
Sorry, what asylum is this Rick?
Haven't you ever snuck out of the corner in Miss Thrashbottom's study, Arthur, when she's stepped out for a cup of tea between implements and ordered you to stay put, and looked at all of her diplomas on the wall?
Abnormal psychology, clinical psychology, especially child psychology--that woman does much more around here than swing a paddle, cane and/or strap at someone's bare behind.
Of course, she is quite competent at employing those instruments of 'applied psychology' (notably if she catches a miscreant out of the corner and starts his/her session all over from the beginning) but the woman has multiple doctorates as well--I believe it was her idea that the 'librarians' eshew the traditional white coats for alternatives like bunny ears or a halo-and-wings ensemble, it appears to make the 'members' of this institute--ummmm, I mean institution--somewhat more tractable.
IMHO you should check it out during your next appointment with the director--ahhhh, disciplinarian, I mean...
