Danvers was literally known as the "birthplace of the prefrontal lobotomy" and is infamous for it's overcrowded and dehumanizing conditions, so I don't think it's the great choice for an exemplary refuge you think it may be. For Christs' sake there are headstones marked only with numbers there! Surely there's some some better option between living on the unsafe streets and being forcibly brain damaged into submission and buried in a nameless grave once you die in captivity after even your family has abandoned you. Sure it got less horrific towards the end of it's lifespan, but it's really weird and honestly disturbing to look back at that sort of institution with nostalgia.
