I don't normally comment on pictures although I find them facinating. You will have to excuse my spelling. Being in a hurry tends to make me spell bad. In reference to the reasons that people were put in these places. My Great Aunt was put into the one in walworth county wisconsin at the age of 15 because she got pregnant. she was there untill she turned 92 years old. I dont think she was too unhappy considering that about 20 yrs after she was admitted she chose to stay as a resident staff. Needless to say shes gone now. Her last days spent in a nursing home accross the street from the asylum. I guess we think its sad because we have so much freedom. But for her it was life. Sorry if it sounds stupid but I felt compelled
