Hubcap will put his stick shift in your exhaust pipe

Lulz, "I rape bitches in here" Am I really the only one here who found that funny? Guess I just have a sick sense of humor.

This is so bizarre. Looking at the original design It's like they filled those empty areas with more cells blocks to accommodate an increasing population, With total disregard for the architecture.

Motts, have you ever had to turn the lights on or off for any reason in buildings where theres still power?

@Charlie, Session 9 was the first thing I thought of when I saw this picture. Very eerie.

Learning Curve?

what should be used for the next ad for Red Door Cologne

I love the old ceiling tiles.

Is that power plant active or not?

Oh man I would LOVE to have some of those rocks in my collection!!!!

I got a typewriter just like that one except it works.

Maybe when they did that 40 years ago there was much more to it than just the shell of the building.

As of today the administration building still stands. I live about 2 minutes from this site. There has been an ongoing battle between the county who wants to place historical status on the building and Horizon (the developer for Southpointe II) I would LOVE to purchase this building to allow people inside. If anyone has tried to do research on Western Center, it is such a secret!

I did not personally work in this home, but I have a great aunt who did about 50 years ago. She has some pretty disturbing storys of unimaginable torture and abuse as well as hauntings. She also speaks of several who really honestly loved the patients there (such as herself) As was mentioned before, at her time of employment, it was an embarrassment to a family to have a mentally handicapped child. They were institutionalize and pretty much forgotten by their families.

I wonder what the cost would be today to do that kind of work.
