They seemed like a normal size to me... I suppose it's tough to tell because there's no real reference in size in this photo.

This wasn't a psychiatric hospital.

Thanks for the reminder and for all the information on these boats Jim!

Well the lights are lit, and it was shot inside, so yes I can safely deduct that the lights worked in the building.

No, this was once the largest TB hospital in the USA for a while... I haven't posted much information about this location to keep the place on the down-low.

Forensic facilities take care of convicted criminals with psychiatric issues, so they require the needs of a prison and a psych hospital all in one.

I actually don't remember any in this building, it's been a while since I've been there.

I plans things out VERY carefully, unless that isn't possible for some reason... then I will just go figure it out as carefully as possible on site. Some places are more secure / risky than others, and each are handled in different methods.

I would like to think it was disarmed / deactivated.

Thanks, yeah I need to get a decent zoom lens one of these days!

Here's a closeup on urbandesertion:

The funny thing is that it is and isn't a pun at the same time... Model B24 ECT machine.

Riverside has telltale collapsing floors which are similar, http://www.opacity.us/...e_state_hospital.htm

Without being too specific; it opened in the late 1800's and closed in the 1970's.

No, infrared makes plant life look white and almost glowing, which can often look like snow ;-)

Not really, I would assume they would range in all ages, but most residents would be from infants to late teens.
