Most excellent photoset - this jail looks 100 times more sinister then Eastern State Penn.

let me rephrase above i worked for the state for 28yrs. i closed dever

that is a barbers chair. i worked there for 28yrs

I couldnt agree with you more eldokid ! Thank goodness im into abandoned buildings, i found my birth records , my brothers, my aunts mental records that nobody should have access to, all with personal info. I dont understand why the hospital closed and left this paperwork sitting in files that anyone could have found ! These records should be disposed of, or at lease sent to a secure medical facility, certainly not a moldy old abandoned hospital!

that really creepy

Kinda on the disturbing side =/

excelent pic ^^ love it

glad to see its not vandalized =)

Nothing a portable shredder couldn't cure. Not that long ago, people never would think about something such as identity theft, I think that's just a product recently thanks to the "information revolution". I know people (and I'm one of them myself) that would go "dumpster diving", not for personal records and the like but for other things. There was a time when people who worked in retail would mark a shipment "short", throw the item (camera, clothes, electronics etc) into the dumpster, then go retreive it later after the store closed. I used to find brand new merchandise in the dumpster all in the original boxes. As for patient records, I believe they should be stored for awhile then either given to the patients family or destroyed. I know I had a hell of a time getting my own records from a doctor's office, it was hell and they charged me like $200. If I'm a patient and I request my own records for whatever reason, I should be given them. They pertain to me after all, not someone else. Now everything is going "paperless" and on computer media, but there are a lot of businesses around that have peoples names, addresses and even credit card numbers available if you know where to look for that stuff. A company I worked for closed and all the computer equipment was just left and I often wondered if someone got in there and took that stuff they would find HUGE files with company info, personal info, credit card numbers the works. We need to be more responsible when disposing of stuff.

poor little dead pecker

Thank you for the info. Matthew, its always a pleasure to read how the old equipment was used!

This picture is almost apocalyptic.

This excellent photo makes it seem like the wires are still live.

I see a nose too!

Sexy.
