How sad life can be. And this is us monkeys being better monkeys than we were in the past. Hmmmm

In places like this the bars serve many purposes they can feel imprisoning at some times and give a sense of safety at others depending on what is going on and which patients are "loose" and moving about.

The historic photo seems to indicate the building isn't large enough to contain this auditorium. Must be an optical illusion.

In my experience life at places like this was not great. Being locked in a room like that, people did not understand or care if they did about the effects of solitary confinement or the need for human interaction, the patient would probably resort to trying almost anything to get the door opened. With the peephole up high they could hide at the base of the door forcing the staff to open it up to make sure they were OK. With the peephole down low they could see the patient at the base of the door or hiding under the bed.
