The "evils" that the people confined in asylums and prisons are protesting likely refer to the harsh conditions, mistreatment, and lack of proper care or respect they experience while in these institutions.

The collective voice from these institutions is likely a call for better treatment, understanding, and reform in how they are cared for and managed within the legal and healthcare systems.
