The Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum operated in Jackson from 1855 to 1935. During that time, 35,000 patients were admitted, 10,500 of whom died. In 2012, a construction project at the current-day University of Mississippi Medical Center uncovered 66 burials at the site of the old asylum. As of May 2017, radar estimate as many as 7,000 bodies may be buried there. Through interviews and archival research, this project attempts to tell their forgotten stories.
