Pescadero State Hospital
From Terminator Wiki
The Pescadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane is a mental institution where Dr. Peter Silberman worked.
History
Some time after 1984, Sarah Connor tried to blow up a computer factory (most likely Cyberdyne Systems) but got arrested by the police. Because of her claims that she tried to blow up the factory because she had been pursued by a machine from the future, Sarah was sentenced to undergo psychiatric care in the maximum security ward of Pescadero State Hospital. She was placed under the care of Doctor Peter Silberman during her incarceration there - most likely because of his knowledge of the case resulting from his questioning Kyle Reese.
On June 8, 1995, a meeting between Dr. Silberman and Sarah Connor was held to determine if Sarah could be moved to the minimum security wing of the hospital. Due to her repeated escape attempts, Sarah's request was denied.
Shortly afterward, a T-1000 Terminator attempted to kill Sarah at the institution but was interrupted by John Connor and a T-800 Infiltrator. Sarah escaped from the facility with help from John Connor and the Series 800 machine.
By the year 2007 all employees from the time that Sarah Connor was a patient had moved on to other careers including Doctor Silberman (he stepped down to work on his book and move to the mountains). Not long after James Ellison's visit to the hospital, Doctor Silberman was arrested for his assault on the FBI Agent and incarcerated at this facility based on his claims that the stories of Sarah Connor were true.
