"Past a metal gate, near a board listing names and inmate numbers, white-haired men in robes watch television game shows in the day room. Out on the balcony, another patient looks through the bars as he fidgets from side to side. This unit in Fishkill's state prison is unlike others which cater to patients with dementia-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease: it houses men convicted of rape, robbery and murder. And the therapeutic center, the first of its kind in New York and possibly the US, was created by New York prison officials to deal with an aging inmate population."
