Residents referred to themselves as the “secret people.”  Along with  Criminal’s latest episode features the story of the "secret people," and the short period in which they shared their home with 500 criminals.  For almost 100 years, Carville was home to people like Candy. People were brought there around the turn of the century, most part kidnapped and against their will by the US government. The patients of Carville were eventually offered release.
