Whitey Bulger: MKUltra Survivor
James "Whitey" Bulger was a mobster from Boston, MA. While serving time in jail, Bulger claims in his personal notebooks that he volunteered and was administered LSD by the government during his time in jail. Bulger is one of few survivors here today to share his accounts of the experiments. Fortunately for Bulger he never had to partake in some of the more gruesome experiments, like some of the others.

This is a link to the CBS Boston's online article by Kathy Curran about Bulger's involvement in the project. This is a quote from the article:
"While in federal prison for bank robbery in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, Bulger volunteered to take part in the covert CIA program called MK-ULTRA in exchange for time off from his sentence." |
