You lucky people, I cant go to Pennhurst because I live halfway across the country.

(((((((Twug)))))
you're welcome

Pennhurst was always dirty. Because the childern were not taken care of, it was not uncommon for a patient to walk around covered in their own filth.

yes hrm, they had a barber shop, they also had a mourge pretty close to it to.

Dosnt the military own Pennhurst? Until they sell the land of course.

While reasearching Pennhurst and Fernald, I saw a few photos of chairs like that. A few to many of them actually had seatbelts on them in order to restrain the students, they even had a padded chair shaped like a cylander with a hole in it where they shoved the children into so they couldnt move.

Well, Pennhurst did run on its own. They made their own food, they had to store drinking water in big metal containers, they even had their own mourge....I dont see why they should'nt have their own electricity.

Viveka,

Most people involuntarily sent to a psych ward, especially as a juvenile, need to be under strict surveillance for obvious reasons. To equate monitoring someone with possible suicidal tendencies with being a Peeping Tom is rather a stretch. If this happened to you recently I can understand why you are still unhappy about it. From the way you write it sounds like this was a fairly recent event. However, your parents would have been even unhappier had people not monitored you just for the sake of "preserving your dignity" if the worst had happened while the staff were being polite and looking the other way. Actually, your parents would have sued the place if something had happened when staff looked away, don't you think? *I* would if it was my relative and I was concerned about their welfare and someone turned their back and something awful happened to them.

You'll probably see this differently in about 10 to 20 years, but for now I am sure your interpretation of what happened will remain uniquely your own.

you should have put on a play for security. i'm sure they would have appreciated it.

ya, its old shag rug from the 70's :-)

that's FUCKED UP.

don't be too worried, it was used to kill TB (although a report i read said that production was discontinued because it failed at that), and it only causes mild irritation to skin and lungs. Well, that is when its right out of the bottle, not 20 years old.

Sounds like cancer. Those look pretty new, is the building still being used for something?

Did you have a detatchable IR lamp or something? Looks kinda freaky how you set it up.
