 The Fire at the Insane Asylum
As the years went by the number of paupers of this kind increased; the asylum had to be enlarged, but there was never any complaint that it was badly managed, or that the inmates received improper or cruel treatment.
The insane asylum was burned to ashes, and forty-one of the forty-four inmates were cremated.
The result of this investigation had the effect on the next Legislature to enact a law abolishing all of these county insane asylums, and the State assumed entire support, control and management of the insane, and the count asylums were abolished.

 Right of asylum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Right of asylum (or political asylum) is an ancient judicial notion, under which a person persecuted for political opinions or religious beliefs in his or her country may be protected by another sovereign authority, either the Church as in medieval sanctuaries or a foreign country.
Political asylum shouldn't be mistaken with modern refugee law, which rather deals with massive influx of population, while the right of asylum concerns individuals and is usually delivered in a case-to-case basis.
Political asylum is also defined in France by the 1951 United Nations (UN) Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (ratified in 1952), the additional 1967 protocol; articles K1 and K2 of the 1992 Maastricht Treaty as well as the 1985 Schengen Agreement which defined the European policy on immigration.

 Asylum (1972/I)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
'Asylum' holds a special place in my heart as watching it on TV as a kid in the 70s is one of my earliest horror memories, along with Rod Serling's almost forgotten series 'Night Gallery' and the underrated Cushing/Lee movie 'The Creeping Flesh'.
I watched 'Asylum' the other day for the first time in oh, twenty years at least, and while it wasn't anywhere near as scary as I remember it to be, it's still one of the better horror anthologies of the period.
The most effective stories for me were the two in the middle - the one with Barry Morse as a tailor with a mysterious client (Cushing), and the other with a fragile Charlotte Rampling being led astray by the sexy Britt Ekland.

 The Asylum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Asylum can be called a modern-day B-movie company, producing several films made on low budgets and short shooting schedules each year.
This practice has only been recently adopted by the Asylum, as up until last year, almost all of the films made were low budget original story ideas with original scripts and were not reliant upon theatrical releases with similar names or story ideas.
The Asylum's practice of producing so-called "rip-off" movies was brought to light in July 2006 on The Today Show on NBC, featuring perspectives on the matter by Asylum head David Michael Latt, a consumer advocate, and some people in a video store.
