I went to this location yesterday and took some pictures, do you think you would be interested?

@Mica Wow that's deep

Funny - machines stamp bits of cars into life, then another, very similar machine crushes them at the end.

Thank you, Motts. I was struck by the fact that there didn't seem to be any signs of homeless residency in there. I remember another gallery of a prison you took where you and your team actually spoke with some of the "tenants." and agreed not to disturb them. I suppose since this place was in the prep stages of being demolished that it may have been vacated/cleaned up?

I worked in Bldg 7 for a short time in the mid 80's. I remember so clearly being in one of the small dayrooms watching the takeoff of the Challenger. It was devastating when we watched it explode!! I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

I remember using these back in the late 70's- mid 80's when I worked in Psych. We also watched videos showing how to put them on LOL LOL. It was very difficult placing someone in one of these. They were always severly agitated and aggressive. It generally took 2-3 people to place a patient in a camisole.

I worked in a building that kind of looked like this. I think it was Bldg 128. I worked there from 1978-84 I think on Ward 7 and Ward 9. Also worked Ward 5 at times. Worked the 4pm-12am shift. Anyone else out there who worked there during this time? I can remember some of the patients and staff here with fondness. I went from working here with mainly geriatric patients to Kings Park Psych Center Female admissions Bldg 22.

Is that a scale?
If so neat scale.

Yes.
At least Derek got a Christmas card.

That´s ALL they had to sit on?
So scant, so tiny.
So most uttterly uncomforable seated for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Weird seat on that chair.

Ground-up?

Counterfeit Food stamps? 40 years ago.
Just wanted to eat too - or feed kids.........
All gone now.

Yes - a person in jail: FRANK.
Yes - a person doing his job;
Name of Expert...CARLTON DUTCHER - and he had a stamp for HIS name. Am sure he could write.
So hard/sad to ponder about fate/destiny/misfortune/
- such a dreary terrible place....

It's sad that many developmentally disabled people were sent to places like Willowbrook and Pennhurst. There were many that were incorrectly diagnosed. All they had wrong was a poor attention span that coloured their true iq score and hyperactive or Asperger Syndrome. They had to fight the label to get discharged.
