1,062 Comments for Ypsilanti State Hospital

As a young juvenile deliquent who ran away from home many times, I was sent to Ypsilanti Hospital to the children's wards. It was a wake up call for me. I do have pleasant memories of the friends I made there, both staff and other troubled teens, but especially of the social worker who got me into a foster home in six months. I then graduated high school, joined the navy and retired after twenty three years of service in submarines. At age 67, I have two wonderful kids, one having a Phd and the other an engineer. The hospital did change my life around. The hospital wasn't all that bad.

Mott,s whats up with the "Ok"'s?

CAN I PLEASE HAVE SOME FUCKING COLAISE PLEASE???

sorry...lmao

This picture was of a seclusion room. I spent 10 years here in the 60's. It was a place of unspeakable torture.

Per the discussion on water towers, it was conidered a smart thing for many places to have their own power generation and water supply post WWII in the event there was a nuclear war. Prior to that most places needed to be self sufficient as the risk of epedemic or other factors could cut them off for extended periods and hospitals were often at the epicenter of epidemics. Many instiutions were taken over in time of war and great need for purposes other than their original design. I went to college at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater and it had both it's own water supply and power generation facility on the campus and was listed as a formal fall out shelter zone for many years.

I was surprised to see this place on your list as I toured the facility when it was still open. I went to High school in Michigan and one of the teachers I had was a psychologist who had practiced for years and had admitting privledges in at this facility up until like 1998.
