In the end time eats everything.

Can't help but think about Session 9 looking at this safe.

"Next woman to take me on will light up like a pinball machine and pay off in silver dollars!"

Observation/ seclusion rooms. That Baker's pink and it's partner, the ugly ass seafoam institution green couldn't have helped the patients. Imagine a major depressive staring at those ugly green walls, day in, day out. Those are horrible colors, the colors of despair, resignation, and hopelessness.

This place was beautiful in it's abandonment, and most definitely haunted. They should have put it on the historic register, as there are very few Kirkbrides around anymore. Deinstitutionalization has led to a lot of homelessness and imprisonment. I'm afraid the pendulum will swing again , and those troublesome "nutters" will once again be warehoused in places like this. And the whole thing was based on saving a buck, whether in an asylum, or out in a tent somewhere. It's almost blasphemy to put a Wal Mart on the grounds of a 150 year old insane asylum.

I'd die of an impacted colon if I'd been imprisoned in here. How can a person be expected to shit under these conditions?

Dixmont and all the former patients imprisoned here got their revenge on Wal Mart at least!

So that's what George Costanza did in the 70's.

The outside world is as much of a madhouse as anything you'd find in here. The only thing keeping us out of those seclusion rooms is luck and the gulf of time.
