00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:01.861
We had been doing research

00:00:01.861 --> 00:00:04.230
projects up at Cambridge,

00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:05.586
so Cambridge wasn't an

00:00:05.586 --> 00:00:10.232
unfamiliar place for us.

00:00:10.232 --> 00:00:11.766
And because I had come out of

00:00:11.766 --> 00:00:12.893
an institution background

00:00:12.893 --> 00:00:14.697
professionally myself,

00:00:14.697 --> 00:00:17.771
institutions were familiar

00:00:17.771 --> 00:00:19.919
environments. Anyway,

00:00:19.919 --> 00:00:23.439
we also, I had also, as well

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:24.325
as others, had learned

00:00:24.325 --> 00:00:27.323
that institutions also did

00:00:27.323 --> 00:00:29.700
things that were not very

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:30.751
good for the development

00:00:30.751 --> 00:00:34.450
of people. And so we spent

00:00:34.450 --> 00:00:37.924
several days visiting

00:00:37.924 --> 00:00:39.353
various parts of the

00:00:39.353 --> 00:00:41.688
institution, writing reports,

00:00:41.688 --> 00:00:46.339
trying to get a cross-section

00:00:46.339 --> 00:00:47.606
of what life was like

00:00:47.606 --> 00:00:48.639
from the time that

00:00:48.639 --> 00:00:50.142
residents would arise in the morning

00:00:50.142 --> 00:00:51.580
until they went to bed

00:00:51.580 --> 00:00:53.386
 usually in late afternoon

00:00:53.386 --> 00:00:58.877
and then obviously

00:00:58.877 --> 00:01:00.950
went to court and served

00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:02.777
as expert witnesses in the case.

00:01:02.777 --> 00:01:04.863
And fortunately that one

00:01:04.863 --> 00:01:07.790
turned out to be one of the

00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:10.858
seminal cases in

00:01:10.858 --> 00:01:11.981
starting the

00:01:11.981 --> 00:01:13.552
deinstitutionalization movement.
