This actually doesn't look all that bad for a seclusion room. It has toilet facilities, light and ventilation. The ones I've seen were completely bare; then again, in the places I've been people aren't generally kept in the "time out room" for an extended length of time, as they appear to have been in this place.

Thank you, Chloe. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. People clearly were mistreated in this place. Does that mean they're mistreated everywhere? Of course not. It's the exception, not the rule. Granted, I tend to be biased in favor of patients, having been one myself on more than one occasion, but I don't believe there's any justification for what we're seeing in this photo. It's demeaning, it's degrading and it's dehumanizing.

So stark and beautiful.

Because it fell under the general category of "flaming"

Why was my coment deleted?

Gee, Lynne-for being such a suporter of the down-trodden, that was quite a demeaning comment about the BBW's. Pracitce what you preach-NOT!

keep the patients from climbing it

What a sad place to live for a child. I shudder to think of WHY they were even institutionalized.

I'd go even more insane if I was in one these places.

@blackrose-Your parents made the right decision to keep you-God Bless them! I'm glad you survived and hope you're doing well. : )

I was born with disabilities, and my parents I think were given the option of instituting me. They were also told that I would not live past a year. Please note that this was the early 1980s, and there were some institutions open. Of course, my parents refused to give me up, and obvioulsy I surpassed the one year mark.

So, I was in that type of bed for quite some time in hospitals getting surgeries and what not.

Scary yet cool.

looks exactly like jail cells

looks like a large dog kennel

i wouldnt want to have a bath if i was a patient there how shameful is that

looks like something out of a horror movie you know where people go into the rooms to get sadistically killed-urgh
