Lol! Would you like a fork with that autoguy?!!!

I tend to agree with Ozzman, I think of it as a room to keep the prisoners out of rather in. Like a storage room or the guard's break room. Scary looking non the less.

This looks like a cell that was used in one of the death camps in Poland that the nazi's used for prisoners. It was called a standing cell and they would put 2 or 3 prisoners at a time in them for days on end. I would have a big time claustrophobic attack if I was stuck in this cell!

All those bars look like a giant rat cage!

I remember trying to go up one of the staircases from the first floor, in broad daylight the stairs were pitch black and we had to go get flashlights.

Upon listening to an audio document from the school's public outreach campaign "Remember Me", there's a segment where they mention a machine like this. The link;s here: http://www.theladdscho...school-museum-ri.asp

I had either an aunt or a great aunt who called this hell hole home, if she had the mental means to even know who she was. She had a triple lobotomy done here, can't find any record saying she was here except for family paperwork and letters about condition. I can't even imagine what it was like in there.....

Hey again. I pass through this to work in the Inner Harbor. I think of this site when I see this stuff and that's crazy you've been here too. Westport is very depressing. You're brave! Nice gallery.

I grew up in West Islip but never knew about this one!! Been to the KPPC a few times. Friends have been arrested there. I also lived close to the half-open,half-closed Pilgrim State. Love your site.

JUST WNATED TO THANK MOTTS FOR ALL THE GREAT PICTURES. I''VE SAT GLUED TO THE COMPUTER THE LAST 3 HOURS OOKING AND LOOKING AT ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB AT GETTING ALL THE INFORMATION TO EACH PLACE. THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME. I'VE REALLY ENJOYED IT. WILL KEEP GOING UNTIL MY EYES WONT LET ME TONIGHT.

This is so weird !

My very first thought when I saw this photograph was
" Dark Shadows " from the 1960's television show Dark Shadows
and definitely not the 2012 movie Dark Shadows starring
Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer.

And now for the weird part:

After my very first thought I then scrolled down on the photograph and then I read the title of the photograph:
Shadow

That is freaky !

Motts has done it again ! !

I love Abandend places and i like the pics you take and you do a great job. Is that seat taking

Now that's just (censored) disturbing. It really truly looks like he got slipped some of the pills they were giving to grownups.

I'd LOVE to hang that over my girlfriend's bed (she HATES clowns) and wake up to "Mr. Spooky"...but the laugh value would not be worth the resulting butt-kicking. Oh well!
