That is some great haunting artwork. Man, my heart is heavy seeing and thinking about kids locked up in this place. It looks like hell on Earth to me.

Hello everyone, I was a resident there in the late 60s and I was just trying to reconnect with the friends I made there and some of the staff members that I had a good relationship with, I was on ward D, thanks

That´s interesting, the drawn picture of a women actually being a former patient. If Patricia G. logs on again, maybe she has an idea who could´ve drawn it.

I was there from 1989-1990.

well that is one thing I did not know about mass

I was at the outpatient school there and even that gave me the creeps. I felt I was the highest functioning there and one of the kids I went to the school with really needed to be an inpatient.

New Rick summer ‘83.

June 25th-1984 to April 20th-1988 ... A Time where the memories are clearer than they should be. Ward D during the Chris Wedge, Brian-Rick Glynn era of nonsense, horrors, and total bull**** towards anyone they deemed weak, or not worthy of their Elite attitudes. Glad the place is closed. Too many nightmares came from that dungeon.

Message to you all out there. STAY SAFE. With this stupid corona virus

Mighty mouse. Who are you. You know alot about this ordeal we all went through

That's one of the quiet rooms when you first walk in ward E there's a few on each side of the locked hallway door. When you first arrive there they strip search you then make you lay there naked with an itchy whool blanket

Anybody know what happen to clara ,not sure of what ward .but if you look at gym the ward was to the right ...

Patrick,
No I am not Carmen. She was friends with me. My name is Jeff. I remember there were like 2 Trishe's there [If I remember correctly]. My time there was very restrictive. I wasn't even allowed to leave the floor to attend school so I didn't get a chance to see a lot of kids from different floors. I was there for court evaluation. Was there a Dr. Mankhe there? I seem to remember that name for some reason. Do you keep in touch with anyone else from there. Brings back a lot of memories. I saw someone mentioned Pasquale. He was in my room and I could tell you some stories with that whole situation. I hope your life has turned out the way you wanted it too and the past doesn't haunt you. Did a girl named Carrie show up there? I was there a short time but walked away with some stories to tell. I tried to sign up for that group someone posted but I seem to always be late to the game.

I remember everyone's name. And most last names. But can't say last names. But I can give initials.
