Probably one of my most favourite hallways to...get across!
This shot gives it quite a bit of justice!

Ok CAS, where's the Heisenberg Compensators then? :-)

Like fine wine, you only get better as time goes by, CAS. ;-)

CAS,

You are forcing me to take stock in Attends, I am laughing so hard. Stop it! 8`-)

Those poor poor people were getting the best treatment technology and state funding could provide at the time. If you look around the comments you can find a link that Lynne posts from time to time showing how patients with mental illnesses were treated almost 150 years ago. One was that would put them into a chair and spin the around a lot hoping that that would fix the problem. You have to take what was given to you at the time. Our children's children are going to look back at our "modern medicine" and go "Oh god! The things they did to people."

Motts - If I may quote your location introduction:

"The facility eventually closed 1990. A university now uses many of the old buildings, as well as storing equipment in the still abandoned ones."

The equipment you are seeing is being stored by the university that is using the property. You are not seeing the many torture devices and experimental machinery used when the facility was open. They took those with them.

It's the first three letters of the alphabet.

i like to no more about pennhurst it interests me alot

Kind of reminds me of Ellis Island.

Explanation?

Fantastic comparison!

Such a shame!---CASE CLOSED!!!

But alot have to be patients' histories. Doesn't it matter? Isn't it important? How many times have you heard of someone trying to find out something and you hear that the records were lost or there was a fire; now I can understand why.
