Ah, the perennial fabulous hospital/asylum gadgets. They prowl the halls at night.

Doesn't look like it's going to return any more bowling balls.

Must've been fun. Why, you could call up to the kitchen and get some fries nice and hot and they'd still be tasty by the time they got down there.
Well, I'm not so sure I'd want to eat anything from there now. Not to mention that even an 8-pounder would crash through that floor now.

Scary and depressing.

Eugh, no privacy.
But then again, if you've got problem patients, you can keep an eye on them that way.

That chair looks quite calm regardless of all the crud surrounding it.

Lynne, you've got a lot of great stories!

Dang, those things look low to the ground.

this is session 9 only grittier the ways the shadows are cast make it oddly beautiful

hmmmm

a punishment/control chair...a variation of the crib theme? how easy it would have been to strap in a "problem child" and go about your day. we all want to think the best. beautiful shot.

i have a newly-diagnosed mental illness and have been hospitalized 3 times in the past three years to help figure out the best medicinal course. i have a FABULOUS doctor who always had me stay where he worked so no one else would work with me and potentially @#**! things up. i have always felt safe. however, i have seen "clients" put through like chattle and i know--having discussed this at length with my doc--that, if these cribs were available (and not frowned upon), hospitals would gladly use them. this is my first time visiting this site. although i find all these images horrifying, the adult crib was indeed the scariest. i have been able to come home after a week, unlike more people than i ever imagined, and in that week i encountered many people who have no support systems t speak of and find themselves stuck in these "modern" hospitals that are still as gut wrenchingly violent and misguided as when they were first conceived. i ramble on...thank you for this site.

Makes me wonder whatever happened to Chris and Tyrone.

I'm trying my hardest not to picture anyone on that!!!

Wonderful shot!!!!!!!
