Hey Lynne, Call me a dumbass, but what is HIPAA? ;-) (I figure it's somthing to do with patient confidentiality)

I work for NASDI tearing down danvers state hospital. it's really ruined inside but it's creepy and fasinating. You have taken some realy good pics motts. Be careful inside there is alot of decaing floors in there. We leave the site at 315pm mon thru fri. good luck you pics do the plce justice!

So developmental exhumation of a corpse - thereby disturbing a final resting place - is alright as long as the person was mentally ill when alive, but not okay if they were mentally sound?

there are so many people that they buried out there they r bound to dig up some of the people it is just so sad because some of the people were not even crazy that were in that place

Thanks for the info!

didnt aerosmith paty here for a couple weeks in the 70's? I seem to remember a story about the vacationing with drugs at an abandoned mental hospital. One of them locked themselves in a room with crack for a couple days.

I believe there is a provision in most state laws regarding unmarked or older graves. That either the bodies are to be respectfully moved.
Or
In the cases here in California, they cannot develop on the land.
Up here in 'gold rush country" If a grave is found it has to be marked fenced off and I believe that there has to be a certain amount of distance between the fence surrounding the grave and where any development can begin.

Here is an interesting website addressing some of those concerns: http://dsmc.info

My concern while these hospitals are being destroyed is the unmarked graves. It would make me horrified to think that there are so many people buried there who are unknown, with the possibility of accidentally being "unearthed"!! Would the workers even report it? Good Lord, I hope so.

i have sat in that chair b 4 i feel so cool i went up there sat.

Kelso-

When you are arrested for trespassing. It is the discretion of the city. state, or county that you live in to further press charges.
Should they decide to, you will go before a judge, either with or without a jury present and you will be sentenced to any varying thing from actual time served at your local county facility or community service work.
You may also be subject to a fine that will be determined by the judge.

This will also be placed on your permanent record, and should you get caught again, then you repeat the process only with harsher punishments the more you get busted.

Until evenutally they will tire of seeing you permanently and then they will like send you off to a state or federal penetiniary to teach you not to tresspass anymore.

what do u mean a trial
