Gee Gee Motts is the best he goes places we can't love his shots

Im just wondering if the Asylum is still up and what security firm it is that is patroling there? if anyone knows
As I want to go there and take a look around! old places like that is lovely! seriously

Patrick, I believe you were on my ward, I was on Ward D, to the right of this picture which is the gym, our tv room was outside the locked door to our unit. I was there in 82-84, the staff at the time were, Suzanne,Willie, Jack,Harvery,Melody with the hook hand, Joanna, I can't remember the rest of the staff's name, we also only had 1 shower stall which was on the left of my bedroom with the rainbow in it, we got locked in the shower room and had to bang the door to get unlocked and let out, we didn't have doors on the bathroom stalls, all the floors were the concrete ones, they were really hot in the summer cause we had no a/c and really cold in the winter cause the heat never worked. I hope you are doing well in your life and that things are now going the way you want...it's always nice to hear from someone else who was a kid and pt there....

Madison Stanton, Maybe you are the mentally ill one, we were just kids, we weren't crazy or mentally ill, everyone has problems and we weren't any different, shut your mouth up, you have no clue what you are talking about...don't mess with us former patients, if you want to call us mental, trust me, we can show you mental you mean and cruel in humane person....

Jan Pinkowitz, William Gaebler is the one who built Gaebler, as well at Met State Hosp down the street from Gaebler. Tom Heathwood is the asshole who ran the place, he is the one who implemented the treatment of us children. We were abused badly, the staff treated us like we were their punching bags. We got drugged, mentally,verbally and physically abused. If you didn't tell the Dr's there what they wanted to hear then you paid the price. I don't know who you are, but, please get your facts straight before you post on here. I was a patient there for 2 years and you can't even imagine the hell we as kids went through.

Motts, if you do go to Ft. McClellan, be very careful, the local police & the county sheriffs patrol out there a lot. Just looking for trespassers to arrest.

Columns still standing proud, nice shot of them too.

probably alot of lead in that old paint

Wow, this is so morbidly fascinating!

Amazing!

I am relatively new to this web site and just want to say how impressed I am with your photography! Exploring all these fantastic areas is about all that's keeping me sane through the long dark winter right now, thanks for sharing! And Merry Christmas!
