What a gorgeous powerful shot!

i finally see the face, it has been about a whole year since i have looked at the picture, and now i have seen the faceS.
haha.
the pain is still peeling

I know, I wrote a comment like yours 2 years ago. Can people think of a better word to put on a dish?

And the things you did to try to stop this from happening were . . . . . ?

If you did not work to stop the punitive behavior you say you observed, then you were certainly never guilty of treating anyone with love or dignity.

There have always been agencies to which employees were required to report suspected and/or observed abuse and/or neglect. This has been a law for many years, and was certainly the case in the 1980s. You never even have had to give your name if you preferred.

I too would have a bad conscience if I had seen all that you say you saw and yet never stepped forward, even anonymously, to try to help. That is where the forgiveness needs to go first - for your reluctance to try to help - even anonymously - helpless people you say you believe were being hurt.

And if you have information that you could now put forward - with evidence to support your charges - and even though many years have passed - there are people out there who would work to try to see justice done or at least prevent these same staff from working with people who can't defend themselves.

Whining for mercy anonymously as an afterthought for not having tried to intervene doesn't do much to set you right in the world. If I were you I'd be a bit more worried about my own "soul" than that of innocent people - only an uncaring, cold deity would turn away from innocent people who had been harmed by others.

Spiritual ramblings aside, walk the walk if you are going to talk the talk. Anyone can come on here and claim they saw abuse or neglect, but if you saw it, tolerated it, didn't report it, and refused to go to someone who could have done something about it - then you are in the exact same boat as the people you are complaining about.

i cant view this why?

Great shot - very compelling. The comments show how it triggers the imagination.
Is it sitting on grade? Looks like it is sinking in the ground. If on concrete and there is a void beneath, pretty scary. This is a valuable chunk of high grade scrap steel - must not have been within reach of that big crane or it would have been removed with the rest of machinery. Since scrap prices have jumped since 2007, it is likely that a further demolition/salvage project is underway or planned. (Many tons of crumbling asbestos on the piping and boilers, but this piece is clean scrap.)

Amazing how so much can thrive without humans... Perhaps they're even better off than they are with our "help"

you have no idea of the way the showers were used.... mostly for punishment....ughhhhh.... I hate that I ever worked there..... I take some comfort in the little love I could sneak to one of these poor forsakens when no one was looking... to treat them with love and dignity was a death sentance

You'd never believe some of the things that occured in those tubs.... worked there ... I wish I could forever forget......
