nada is correct. I was put into one of these rooms because another patient threw me into a brick wall. The day room area of the intake ward was just outside of the area of a room just like this one. I woke up with a big knot on my head and was told I had to wait to get permission before I was allowed out. The other patient had to stay in there for two days....I was glad !
I believe this was the hall that led us all to the what we called the dinning room. Long lines of the different wards would be walking up and down the halls. By the way the food was typical institutional crap !
this was the entrance to the hall from the sleeping dorm. That place was a spooky place to be even while it was active. I had another patient try to burn my hair while I was lying in my bed. I was in the womens sleeping dorm. There were a lot of beds in the big room. They locked this door at night to keep us all in the dorm at night. When something creepy would happen it sometimes took a long time to unlock the door...I am glad this place is no longer in existence..........Yea!
these rooms were the lock-up rooms. This was where one would go if they were out of control...I was in one of these on C63 in late 1971 and part of 1972. I was thrown into a brick wall while I was playing cards. One minute the game was going well, then I got up to go to the bathroom and whammmmm....I was only about 110lbs.(female) and this big big guy let me have it. This was an intake ward so both sexes were on the ward. We usually slept in the dorm area at the end of the L shaped ward. Just a creepy note....Dr. Dukay,director or head shrink, killed his wife and then himself while I was in-patient there. I think it was in the Detroit news or Ypsilanti Press or one of the local papers that is how the patients found out about it. I bet he haunted us as we tried to sleep.....
