I don't remember this room specifically, but I do believe it was an office of sorts, or maybe for laundry. Also, I remember they did have some rooms that were used for keeping various types of "equipment" life restraints and there was a special "bed" if you will that had leather belt restraints on it that could be wheeled out and used at any time.

hi Gaebler school girl, you are a very smart person, You have every right to feel as angry as you write. Icannot even imagine what your childhood was like. I hope that you can put all those experiences into something positivem like working with emotionally disturbed children, there is so much child abuse out there, the world is just full of kids who believe they aren't worth shit, and really would benefit from someone such as ypurself to help them. you are living proof that God don't make junk! You are a survivor sweety, Congatulations, and God Bless you !
scarred walls that scarred so many lives... seems only fitting doesn't it ?

indeed... surreal!!! skulls, a satanic priest, an inverted cross and even what seems to depic a big fat and circumcised penis playing the role of the gold pot at the end of the rainbow where blue skyes embrace snow white clowds and the most beautiful smiling and shiny yellow sun, all together sharing the same canvas which I think represents our our existance as it ... but what's the nature of the man that could possibly be in the middle with no lines between wrong and right, good and evil, God and Devil at the same time and able to appreciate it's beauty all together as it is without segregation?... wait, wait... I see dark clothing... something like a tripoid... a lens..... ohhh sh** it's Motts!!!!
