Your photography is brilliant. I recently found another site that had a bunch of exterior pictures of this place which did this beatiful kirkbride building no justice at all. Their photos almost made the building appear like a low class dump. I am able to appreciate the artistic vision and detail of your photos more than I already did after finding that other website.

p.s there are many scans of old beautiful postcards of this place on the official worcester MA website - if anyone wants to go look at them.

I got you all beat. In my jr. high school we had communal showers... but the plumbing came up through "posts" in the center of the room - not the walls. The posts had something like 6 shower heads on it. You didn't get the luxury of staring at the wall while you showered... you just had other people to your sides and in front of you. As if the phallic shower heads weren't bad enough... it wasn't a gentle shower of water that came out - it was a razor sharp stream of water. Quite unplesant.

About ECT...

I recieved 13 treatments of bi-lateral ECT in 2004. It was utilized to treat a severe depressive episode within my severe BiPolar disorder. The main side-effect was severe amnesia that led to my dissapearance for short time. (In fact, I still do not remember any details about my dissapearance.)

Untimately, ECT was not beneficial for me. I also required extensive hospitalization afterwords due to the lack of symptom relief through ECT.

I hope this helps with the questions about ECT, please feel free to ask more questions.

Wizid - Do you have any idea what the suspended cages and chains were for? I'm quite curious.

Given that a large percentage of the people in the correctional system have tried desperately to get themselves transferred into the mental health system I figure there must be at least a shade of difference.

I can think of a good way to find out for sure, however.
