The Bedlam Institution for the Criminally Demented was a mental health facility for criminals situated on the Bedlam planet, which was in the Mid Rim. Naat Lare was kept there for a period of five standard years before his vanishing.
The term "Bedlam" is informal English for a mental institution, or broadly, wild and disorderly conduct. It is said to have come from the way people from Cockney pronounced the name of Bethlem Royal Hospital in London.
