A lot of people say, what's that ?
Its Pat.
A lot of people ask, who's he or she.
A little reserved, except him or her.
But whatever it might be.
Its time for androgyny.
Here comes Pat.

We all sit in the yellow comfy chair.
And all of our friends are quite bored.
And so we said come over to our door.
And then the band began to play.
So we all danced the night away.

The call me mellow-yellow. Quite right !

Written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan.
Song was released to the public in 1966.

That room would make a wonderful work space.

What were the games in this room ?
Maybe just the basic standard games such as checkers and chess
along with a few game boards such as monopoly or clue.

Even though this isn't my exact photo I still took the same one. Weird!

I took this photo on April 11th 2011 while touring the Glendale hospital. It was a TB hospital for a long time. Towards the end it turned into a mental facility. I was with my friend at the time and took this picture with my digital slr camera.

Sort Bill Many No inmates was escorted to chow, Maximum Security was a lockdown facility. Only time this stairwell was used during outside recreation, only 10 inmates at a time most times. Plus small movement of inmates for activities, inmates be retained with a three pieces cuffs n chains suite, if going outside.. If not they be escorted with handcuffs for internal movement

Look like one of those tiers from CB 2, 4, or 6. Looks good condition could place inmates inside right now.

This was walkway to chow and visiting hall, plus the way to CB 7 (General Population) at Max

Look like one of the tires from cellblock 1, 3, and 5. Those cellblock's were protective custody blocks.. I worked at Max for 6 years

Hello just wanted to say, Thanks for the remembers, I was a former Correctional Officer(Max Officer) assigned to Maximum Security or everybody know it as "The Wall or Max".

I am a '74 grad of Pilgrim. I hated those uniforms, too. I kept feeling like a waitress rather than a nurse. We did get a very good education. It's wonderful to have a BS degree (which I did get), but I still think it is 'BS'. The diploma schools gave a much better education, all in all.
I think about those days fondly. I am sorry to see Pilgrim go down the way it has. It did a lot of good for a lot of people. Ah well, such is life....

That is where you hide if the guy with the noose comes back.

Love reading the history of AL since relocating here and your pieces of abandoned places are fascinating.
