"It never crossed my mind that someday I might write a foreword to a book about John Doe No. 24's life when I finished the song. Clearly, he inspired more than a few people during his life, and after it was over."-Mary Chapin Carpenter, from the Foreword, "It never crossed my mind that someday I might write a foreword to a book about John Doe No. 24's life when I finished the song. Clearly, he inspired more than a few people during his life, and after it was over."-- Mary Chapin Carpenter , from the Foreword " God Knows His Name: The True Story of John Doe No. 24 allows the reader to feel how institutional life was experienced by an individual who spent the better part of his life (from adolescence on) in the Illinois state institutional system.

In 1994, Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote a song about an entirely different situation, recounting the life of a man whose name was unknown to all. The song moved newspaper reporter Dave Bakke to investigate the story behind this nameless individual. In this short book, Bakke writes movingly of places where for almost fifty years, no one knew the real identity of a man known finally as John Doe No. 24. In writing about John''s life, Bakke not only tells a story of personal tragedy and triumph but also reveals much about mental health policy in the United States in the second half of the twentieth century. Committed to Illinois'' Lincoln State School and Colony for the Feeble-Minded in October 1945, John died in a Peoria nursing home in November 1993. His journey through the Byzantine nature of state hospitals and group homes of developmental centers and congregate living facilities, often reads like fiction and provides a cautionary tale of how America treated (and still treats) its most vulnerable citizens. A young black male entered the Illinois mental health system in October 1945. Jacksonville, Illinois police officers found him in the early morning hours rummaging through a back alley. Upon picking him up for questioning, they discovered the man had no identification and could not answer their inquiries, instead grunting and pointing to his ears, indicating he was deaf. In the first of a series of labeling decisions that would mark the rest of John''s life, police categorized him as not only deaf but also mentally retarded. John was then adjudicated as feeble-minded through the Morgan County Court and committed to the Lincoln State School and Colony, seventy miles from Jacksonville. Within three weeks of being picked up in Jacksonville, the unnamed youngster (judged to be about sixteen years old) had a new life at Lincoln and a new name, John Doe #2. Bakke is especially good at revealing the underlying assumptions involved in the process of labeling John as "feeble-minded," assumptions that tell us much about mid-twentieth century America''s beliefs, prejudices, and acceptance of differences. Bakke traces John''s life through the thirty years he lived at Lincoln. His stay there corresponded with the nadir of American institutional control. Severe overcrowding, untrained and underpaid staff, few educational and training programs for patients (still identified as "inmates"), and over medication with newly discovered psychotropic drugs marked most institutional facilities into the 1960s. These revelations are not new, they form the basis of interpretation of this time period in the works of authors as diverse as Andrew Scull and Gerald Grob.[1] What Bakke does, and does well, is personalize these problems through the story of John''s life at Lincoln. Rarely lapsing into either sensationalism or sentimentality (which are easy to do in John''s case) Bakke weaves a tale of daily boredom and struggle as John searches for ways to fit into the only world he knows--the routinized structure of the institutional ward. Bakke makes this drab existence come alive and John''s life at Lincoln seems remarkably similar to that of Randall McMurtry, Ken Kesey''s existential hero ofOne Flew Over the Cuckoo''s Nest. The Lincoln dance band, led by a staff member and comprised of "high-level" patients, provided John, and other inmates, with an opportunity to escape from this harsh life. Almost every week, the band provided entertainment for the other patients, and John, though deaf, participated as well. "John sat in one of the folding chairs, eyes full of wonder at the scene before him ... A vibration in the air made John''s stomach feel light. What is music to a deaf man? On this night, it was everything" (p. 28). By the 1960, It never crossed my mind that someday I might write a foreword to a book about John Doe No. 24's life when I finished the song. Clearly, he inspired more than a few people during his life, and after it was over."—Mary Chapin Carpenter, from the Foreword

Synopsis
Police found John Doe No. 24 in the early morning hours of October 11, 1945, in Jacksonville, Illinois. Unable to communicate, the deaf and mute teenager was labeled "feeble minded" and sentenced by a judge to the nightmarish jumble of the Lincoln State School and Colony in Jacksonville. He remained in the Illinois mental health care system for over thirty years and died at the Sharon Oaks Nursing Home in Peoria on November 28, 1993. Award-winning journalist Dave Bakke reconstructs the life of John Doe No. 24 through research into a half-century of the state mental health system, personal interviews with people who knew him at various points during his life, and sixteen black-and-white illustrations., Police found John Doe No. 24 in the early morning hours of October 11, 1945, in Jacksonville, Illinois. Unable to communicate, the deaf and mute teenager was labeled "feeble minded" and sentenced by a judge to the nightmarish jumble of the Lincoln State School and Colony in Jacksonville. He remained in the Illinois mental health care system for over thirty years and died at the Sharon Oaks Nursing Home in Peoria on November 28, 1993. Deaf, mute, and later blind, the young black man survived institutionalized hell: beatings, hunger, overcrowding, and the dehumanizing treatment that characterized state institutions through the 1950s. In spite of his environment, he made friends, took on responsibilities, and developed a sense of humor. People who knew him found him remarkable. Award-winning journalist Dave Bakke reconstructs the life of John Doe No. 24 through research into a half-century of the state mental health system, personal interviews with people who knew him at various points during his life, and sixteen black-and-white illustrations. After reading a story about John Doe in the New York Times , acclaimed singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote and recorded "John Doe No. 24" and purchased a headstone for his unmarked grave. She contributes a foreword to this book. As death approached for the man known only as John Doe No. 24, his one-time nurse Donna Romine reflected sadly on his mystery. "Ah, well," she said, "God knows his name."
