Previously work at Pennhurst?

Question

Were any of you previously employed or know someone who was employed at Pennhurst State School? I know many of the employees moved to Phoenixville Hospital after the close but turns out they've all left. I would like to ask some questions about the place as my great-great uncle lived there for some time. Thank you

Answer 1

I worked at pennhurst state school in 1971. It wasn't a very good place to live.  I have seen articles where they wore something like prison clothers, when I worked there they wore normal everyday clothes.
