Harlem Asylum

Harlem Asylum is a mental hospital for the criminally insane. The Asylum houses many violent criminals, murderers, and even a few suspected witches. Many believe the asylum is haunted; among the superstitions associated there is the rule of twelve. The rule of twelve is the belief that any murderer who escapes the Asylum will kill exactly twelve people before dying themselves, or being recaptured. This superstition arose due to four individual cases in the past, where the exact thing happened.

Patients
Harlem Asylum is akin to a prison, and treats it's patients as such. Dr Markenfitz is a frequent visitor to the hospital i as it offers grounds for him to experiment on addled minds. The patients here are often abused, and subjugated to torturous procedures in attempt to purify their infected minds. Many doctors engage in barbaric practices; from electroshock therapy, partial lobotomy, internal leeching, to behavioural discipline therapy, these patients endure it all.

Over the history of the Asylum, not one single patient has been released due to a cured mind. Those who care enough, speculate the asylum doesn't ever intend to cure those that come in.
