Toilet paper holders can be wrenched off the wall, so in many lock down facilities they weren't used. The toilet roll was usually left sitting next to or on the toilet.

In 1997 when my mother died, I learned of a sister that I had, she was born with downs....she would have been born in the late 1940's. My mother never told me of the downs...I know now it was someone no one spoke of back then. How terribly painful to hold these secrets in your heart. I guess I am rambling but....feels good to put it to words.

The right equipment and place used in the wrong way. It seems lots of unnecessary time and overtime was spent here by children whose parents were deceived into letting them stay. Like Firstaid says, children can overcome these obstacles early. They need a little proper help, and they can do everything else by themselves. It's sad that at times society was unforgiving and had ignorant conformist rules, with very little medical knowledge about many conditions.

People in these rooms could be considered hostages. Can you imagine somebody going for treatment for something mild, very easily treatable with therapy or mild medicine? They could be given heavy medicines and kept here when their condition would understandably worsen. Their families would be convinced the best care was being given. Maybe a way to make up for low revenues by the hospital. That's scary.

The sheet looks ragged and old. It seems to show that not much care was given to keeping things clean and fresh. The room has a sombre feeling to it, only because of the care taken in keeping it up. The cribs are not necessarily creepy, disturbing or sad. First, used properly, they can aid a person who needs it, like people who fall out of bed, sleepwalkers, or just help some feel secure. Also, remember that it's a bed, and the person is only sleepin in it at night, not made to stay in it 24 hours a day. It is not for punishment.

MINI-TROL probably is a contraction for MINI CONTROL PANEL

Maybe this was an instrument used to scare some of the patients/clients straight! I always see medicines and hospitals used much of the time for just this purpose. The first one was a joke. Wrong treatment can always feel like punishment and torture. Seems like it can do the job close to present equipment.

your wierd. HA HA.

I don't buy SpiderGirl. I mean, I don't think she can be real! Nobody can be so singly minded that she ignores all reason... it's ridiculous, it's not even funny. You, madam, are a FRAUD. An amusing fraud, though :P

I'd like to live in your world for a day, it would be an interesing experience. All of the amusement parks must have creepy rusting clown heads and every single school teacher must be pedophile.
