A lot of larger facilities have the capacity to do surgical procedures. Makes things a lot simpler than sending someone with a severe psychosis or a violent case of Tourette's syndrome to a place where they only know how to treat them for their physical maladies.

Extremely nice work!

This was a large open dormitory area with beds and lockers closely spaced together. This picture represents a wall lined with sinks and mirrors for general washing and grooming (Including any first shaves). Students waited in line to use their desginated sinks with the older classes having first "ups". The privacy curtain was for the brothers and/or visitng Salesians.
