Lynne in regards to your 2nd entry.
All i have to say is, GIVE ME A BREAK!
You can't be serious. Right?
Please say your kidding.
You should join the rest of us in reality.
You can't be THAT naive.

Yik3z.... remindz me of the cre3pY chick off the ring but only nicer non-mouldy version...!!!

Oh boy.
Lynne i hope you were joking about being a psychologist. It seems that you have a fixation with paint balls. I don't even want to know why.
Try Clozaril. It will do wonders for you and your psychosis.
P.S. Try QID.

This pic lOokZ miNt... :-P
Th3 blured man loOkz cr33pY....!!!

I have to ask you lynne. Do you really believe that no food or water bit? God i hope not, or you obviously have alot to learn about psychology. Patients are put into seclusion for safety reasons not for punishment. More so now than then granted. To not give patients access to food, water, toilet, etc. is not only illegal it is inhumane. The laws and medications have changed and improved so much that extreme cases of people in seclusion for long periods of time are rare. At least at the mental hospital that i work at. It can be a long process to get Dr.'s orders to even lock someone in seclusion and that is after all other interventions have failed.
And as far as the having paint sets in seclusion, you'll be singing a different tune when you have to explain to a family
how you gave someone the tools to hurt themselves or others. So many bad things could happen as a result of that.
I could tell you some stories.

Hey listen back in 2003 I vistied Byberry alot because people at my school would talk about it in Fairless hills PA. Any ways I went one night no masks and a video camera and a friend I could not tell you the name of the building but i know we spent 1hour on trying to pry open the window boards and door boards but no luck then moving along the side of the building we found a staircase that over the years the mud had built up around the entry to the basement there was just enough room for us to squiezz down any ways why looking for this entry we heard kids in side well this entry led us the basement B1 we spent at least 4 hours in the basement we then found caffaterias after another to what looked like to be thousands of mutilated flilling cabinets and old janitorial stuff TRAYS for food then we found books with DEVIL SIGHNS INSIDE THE PAGES and old medicine bottles and i had my cell phone on me perfect signal there was a elevador that had stoped at B1 and had not moved since at least 1991 or 1990 the doors open actualy was creppy that it just stayed like that i never hoped on becuause i did not want it to free fall to B2 and get stuck down there many of the entrys to B2 had been destroyed to stay shut we ran into the morge where they burnt the dead there was a huge furnace where they slide people on to I did not see a single roach spider what so ever i even destroyed a celing vent locked to put my video camera to se ACTUALY WEIRD we heard people but did not find any of them. We found a B2 entry way but on the botom of the stairs painted in RED was ALL DEAD DOWN HERE LOTS OF DEAD BODIES. I swear to god that place is of the devil because as soon as I turned around the face of friend was like they had scene something realy bad, i had a incoming text message PLAIN SCREEN no number WE Went up to F1 where there was just halls after halls of open rooms with pading walls tons after another. We rested [removed per site policy] AHAHAHA BYBERRY IS GREAT PLACE

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK. REMEMBER MENTAL ILLNESS IS THE CRUELIST DISEASE THERE IS. PEOPLE DIDNT UNDERSTAND IT AND TRAETED THESE PEOPLE HORRIBLY. AND NOW 100S OF YEARS LATER. PATAKI IS KILLING THEM ALL OVER AGAIN.

WOW! I can't get enough of the light! Every photograph depends on the light in one form or another. This one is no exeption. Amazing! Such a lonely scene. Makes me think of all the people that have stood leaning against that wall just there, staring out that huge window. All the thoughts that went through their minds as they gaze in longing to be outside. To be free.
Each pane of glass could be a story or a border for some escape only to be realized in dreams.

Such a powerful image! The lighting is so strong. It is the only thing left that offers movment in such a lonely place. I close my eyes and all i see is that haunting source of the living light.

I drive by those buildings every day. The cops sit out front every day. Nothing changes. I keep hearing of imminent demolition, but it never comes. As with Byberry and other places, I think there are three major holdups:
Asbestos, asbestos, and asbestos. The mesiothelioma ambulance chasers wait with baited breath!

The school shut down the year before I moved to the area. Local papers published Belchertown school horror stories thoughout the 1990s. It was pretty nasty. It did not garner as much attention as Northampton State Hospital, but it was pretty notorious.

Yikes Sketch! Must type them all into a digital database manually! *wake up from scary nightmare in a sweat* Whew!

Ok-ok, the curtains are just LOVELY! :oD

I can't say where this stuff is, but if somebody really wanted to see it go to further good use, It may not be that tough to do. Here, for me, I would go see some folks I know at Hands On Atlanta. Maybe their web site has some links to organizations in your area or something. Indeed that stuff is not cheap, and could definately help somebody. It IS possible.
