thats awesome

Woowee Lynn. Got a live wire here. I think I'd save my breath this time though. Not worth the pounding headache you're sure to get.

I love seeing what has become of the place compared to the old photo. Wonderful.

This is an amazing picture. I'm glad you didn't take the crown. Honor the dead.

I like it. Is this the art you were talking about Motts?

Not that it matters now, but Dixmont WAS designated a National Historic Landmark. If you look on the Dixmont Hospital site, there is a photo of the front of Reed Hall showing the plaque. The owner of the property was able to have it removed from the list due to the damage the building had suffered. I will miss it as much as anyone, (having visited there several times while it was still active), but maybe she needed to be finally put to rest. The indignity she suffered was criminal.

Yea, the state came up with some bright idea, that they can't afford the state hospital anymore (to busy giving themselves 17% raises in the middle of the night), so they closed down these hospitals ant let all the EDP's out into society with the normal people, so they can deal with them !!!!!!!

This looks pretty crepy

*laughs at Lynne and Felyne* TB doesn't sound so bad now! XD

*stares at Blackhawk and whitehawk, who I'm assuming are the same person*

I...I don't know if I should laugh or cry at the fact that you took so much time to write a four part pile of crap.

The preferred method for females was to surgically remove thier ovaries and then prostitute them out. This served to supplement the staff'sincome. This is where the tunnels came into play. Not only were they used as underground passages but there is a tunnel which leads to the houses across the street where the Doctors resided. This was also where the Doctors raped many of thier female patients. They collected cash payments from colleagues. The women were heavily sedated to make them more cooperative and less likely to remember names, faces, dates, or times. This is why whenever someone is admitted to a psychiatric facility or floor they are asked the day, date, year, time, and who the Governor and/or president is. Check in later as I tell you more about Connecticut's evil history which NSH only plays a small part in which the rich and famous abuse and oppress the poor and minority class. Find out what was really meant by the term middle class and why it's considered extinct. Were they really evil embassadors

right. As the patients were braught to intake they had thier clothes violently ripped off. Then they were literally thrown into the room and the door slammed. Then using a 5gal. pail they threw hot water on them they were instructed to soap down if they did not comply they would be stunned via a cattle prod. Then the door opened and the staff would soap them up making sure they cleaned the cavities which they logged as a medical intake exam. On occasion patients died which were logged as suicides. All dead bodies were incinerated along with all trash. Those ashes were put into a compost pile outside which was used as fertilizer for the property which was mixed with horse and cow maneure. The basement was used for electroshock therapy and experimental brain surgeries some were lobotomies and some were not. Most were conducted for the purpose of internship. The interns came from New London and Backus Hospital. The basementwas the last resort for only those who were die hards. Meds and torture didn't work.

received payment. The amount usually coincided with the going rate for a prostitute which in the 1980's was $50. This practice was discontinued in 1989 and decided that all involved were criminally guilty of abuse, negligence, and welfare endangerment. Families refused to come forward because they could not admit to themselves they had sold thier relatives into such an existance. As they attempted to cover it all up more ugly truths came to light. They released all patients that had been wrongfully imprisoned. The problem was most were incapable of caring for themselves. They set up housing programs and outreach clubs for the mentally ill like Reliance House. Now, as for these rooms with mesh doors they were used for intake. The new patients were usually uncoopertive to being wrongly imprisoned. They had such off the wall notions such as being Americans and squaking off about some constitutional rights being violated. Connecticut did a complete check of the state's constitution. They decided they were in the

Right On! Whitehawk is right. Also, this type of room was used for incoming patients being braught in many women were braught in for embarrassing thier families and crimes against the church ( CATHOLIC ). Thier crime was either having sex or getting pregnant out of wedlock. Most men were locked up for not knowing thier place i.e. blue collars dating rich or blacks dating whites. True criminalswere sent to Niantic Women's Prison and the men to Cheshire Penitentary. In both Niantic and Cheshire they had psychiatric wards. It is for the dangerously and criminally insane that are/were housed in Cheshire and have and occasionally still escape that have been the ongoing topic of town meetings for decades. NSH was never for the criminally insane. So. many of those being braught in by family entered the administration area. The marble was set up to convey both authority and assurance. While assuring them they were doing the right thing it made them feel they had no choice. To assure thier silence in the future they
