                "Nelly Bly Undercover"
by Dr. Howard Markel
 
The matron of the house enlisted a few cops to escort Bly to the Essex Market Police Courtroom, where an impatient judge named Duffy pronounced her insane and ordered her to the famed insane ward at Bellevue Hospital, the city's largest charitable hospital. A few days later, she boarded a ferry boat filled stem to stern with unwashed and uncomprehending women for Blackwell's Island, "an insane place," one ambulance driver told her, "where you'll never get out of."

    The valid inference about what was known about Bellevue's reputation from the excerpt is:
**Bellevue's mistreatment of patients was known at the time.**
This is supported by the description in the excerpt that indicates a level of concern regarding the treatment of women at Bellevue, as evidenced by the ambulance driver's comment about it being "an insane place" where one would "never get out of."
