Hey Daniel ! since you have a thing about tubs i reserved this room for you, WHY, your comments are especially heinous! hahaha

my parents used to threaten to send us there. is it still standing?

Hallucinator's link doesn't work anymore. Can someone point out the "creepy" to me?

I worked in these state facilities in Illinois, forensics populations include, not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) and unfit to stand trial (UST). The GUILTY but insane are at the prisons with designated housing for the criminally insane . People also came into forensics from the jails if they exhibited suicidal behavior or other behavior requiring mental health evaluation. A member of the population exhibiting behavior that would authorize change in status from NGRI would be tranferred to the prison system, UST members of the population could be deemed fit and tried for their crime, if found guilty they would be transferred to the penal system. The buildings and wards were locked..the population was free within the ward unless behavior required physical or medical restraint , which was determined by medical staff.

It kind of reminds me of the shaving scene is Girl, Interrupted.

reminds me of jackson prisons visiting area i wasthere 4 almost 5 yrs so zomb piggers take it from me stay the hell outta them places

seclusion room my grand father was there 4 25 yrs he died there at 50 he was only 24 or 25 when he was committed for murder caught my grandma with another man killed both

all michigan institutions have these same double steel mesh windows

nada is correct. I was put into one of these rooms because another patient threw me into a brick wall. The day room area of the intake ward was just outside of the area of a room just like this one. I woke up with a big knot on my head and was told I had to wait to get permission before I was allowed out. The other patient had to stay in there for two days....I was glad !

I believe this was the hall that led us all to the what we called the dinning room. Long lines of the different wards would be walking up and down the halls. By the way the food was typical institutional crap !

this was the entrance to the hall from the sleeping dorm. That place was a spooky place to be even while it was active. I had another patient try to burn my hair while I was lying in my bed. I was in the womens sleeping dorm. There were a lot of beds in the big room. They locked this door at night to keep us all in the dorm at night. When something creepy would happen it sometimes took a long time to unlock the door...I am glad this place is no longer in existence..........Yea!

these rooms were the lock-up rooms. This was where one would go if they were out of control...I was in one of these on C63 in late 1971 and part of 1972. I was thrown into a brick wall while I was playing cards. One minute the game was going well, then I got up to go to the bathroom and whammmmm....I was only about 110lbs.(female) and this big big guy let me have it. This was an intake ward so both sexes were on the ward. We usually slept in the dorm area at the end of the L shaped ward. Just a creepy note....Dr. Dukay,director or head shrink, killed his wife and then himself while I was in-patient there. I think it was in the Detroit news or Ypsilanti Press or one of the local papers that is how the patients found out about it. I bet he haunted us as we tried to sleep.....
