Yeah I asked someone about that, the law was passed a while back, when refrigerators latched closed (now they use a weak magnet to seal the doors).

A little research revealed that refrigerator doors manufactured prior to 1958 had mechanical latches which were impossible to open from the inside. Kids would wind up playing in discarded refrigerators and wind up locking themselves in; the sealed door prevented and screams from being heard, and they would eventually suffocate. The New York Times published a figure of 115 children dying this way in over a decade long period before 1955.

Congress passed the Refrigerator Safety Act in 1956, and attempts to smash the latches off the remaining unused refrigerators has since minimized these incidents.

But, this law only applies to household refrigerators, not commercial or morgue freezers.

Yeah, they look like nurses stations, positioned to keep watch over the wards.

A rotting meat smell.

hey dont you know this green is supposed to be "calming"..personally it has always made me wanna hurl...lol

looks more like a medication window. Many psych hospitals and developmental centers (new millenium buzz word for this type of facility) still have them. Part of the "therapeutic" environment is for patients to present themselves to a window at certain times for their medication.

they're called "shower chairs" and are still very much in use everywhere
