Things haven't changed much. My son's stories of a private children's mental ward aren't much different from the story linked to this one. It's been three years but he still is terrified of needles because of their habit of digging around in the children's arms during daily blood draws. I wish I had known better than to send him there.

This photograph brings lifes light and justice to so many alumni who could not achieve this hope while enrolled at this state facility. The unchecked employees operated this institution like a den of iniquity. That divine shaft of light is GODS reckoning testament. Kudos to You.

@ greg: except he only uses digital cameras (as posted on his about page) so it's most likely just an infrared filter. is that correct, motts? if that's the case, he could simply remove the filter and re-take the shot. :) thanks for including the "pre" picture...i've been looking into getting an infrared filter and wondered what post-processing would need to be.

this is the James Reville building, and the morgue and 'lab' are in the basement. There's now the sales office RIGHT in the front yard, and las weekend when i came up, it was such a shock, but yet a relif to see that at least the building was still intact...well..for the most part.

One more thing to Lynnes comment, I know one of the Dr's that workd at Lettchworth helped to find a cure for polio [originally in the Congo] and was said to use patients at somewhat test subjects for the vaccines. Dont' know HOW much of that was truth but sure gave me chills and after finding patients PERSONAL papers on the grounds, I was heartbroken
