I don't know that they look mushy so much as they look well worn in. The depressions appear to be in roughly the same spot, like where someone would be walking. Of course, I'd still want a stick or something to test each stair before I went up them... :D
Wow, this conversation explains SO much! As a doctor, I must put in that anal probing should only be done by professionals, not amateurs. Shoot me an e-mail if you need help! :D
And by the way, writing your name on a wall generally isn't considered art. Paint a picture, that's art. Writing a name just proves that you aren't entirely illiterate.
For me it doesn't even matter if someone died there or not. What is important (to me) is that you don't ruin something that doesn't belong to you. If I spray painted my house, that would be ok, because it is mine, and I have to deal with it. If I spray painted someone elses house, that would be wrong, because it isn't mine. Didn't their parents teach them that when they were young?
Keep in mind that these are government run facilities. Usually it is cheaper for them to buy new than to move something, and I doubt it even occurs to them to auction these things off & recoup some of the cost.

I highlighted the areas around what I'm seeing. Does anyone see it now? (No comments on the crappy art job, I had to use a mouse!)
Poor chair probably went crazy trying to escape the locked hallway! Any idea why these doors were locked? Obviously you could get to both doors, so they weren't really keeping you out of anything...
This looks like one I worked with when I was younger. There would be a power washer at the beginning to get off the chunks and to get the dishes somewhat clean. They would be loaded into a tub and pushed into this machine. It immersed them in soapy boiling water for a few minutes, then it would drain & steam them for a few minutes more. They came out the other end hotter enough to burn you, but clean enough to see your reflection in the plates. Don't let those ducts fool you either, the dish room was always hotter than hell! Ah, the memories of the heatstroke...
