If I remember, it was just an empty tiled room, much like a closet space.

Those of us who work in residential facilities still spend a lot of time, I have to admit, trying to get those dangerous, illegal, and unethical practices to work as quickly as we would like. We finally had to write a "Patient Abuse and Degradation Manual" so the procedures would be easier, faster, and somewhat standardized. Please feel free to drop me a line if you would like a copy of the manual. It's only $25.99, and we do take credit cards. You have to learn the secret handshake and how to use the decoder ring before we'll let you in the club, of course.

Where's my helmet? Someone?

Em . . . You mean they were put in seclusion rooms and never ever ever let out until their release papers came or they died? =8-o

Oh Very Sinister

Ohh This Reminds Me of That Low Budget Horror Film "Death Tunnel"

Mr.Motts could you see in side the safe from the hole some one smashed beside it? What was in side?

But it was ominous, the procedures that were performed in that room not only increased the severity of the patient's condition, it also killed many patients through dangerous and unethical practices.

It makes you feel like you are visiting a hotel or a relative's home, while is all reality you are being with held from the world because someone thought you were insane.

It's no wonder why there are claw marks by the door. Many who were put in those rooms did not leave them until they were released or dead.

I worked for two companies that went under and left behind a bunch of empty buildings, Hills and Ames. We have also had FoodTown go under, Cubs, Farmer Jack's, etc.. All leaving hideous abandoned "box" stores behind. The Wal-Mart here has actually helped the "Mom and Pop" stores by attracting more people into the area surrounding the store. Of course here they knocked down an old hideous, abandoned "box" store to build it.

Enough of that.

The building in this photo appears to be waiting. You would think it enjoyed having people pick around inside it! This was an awesome angle to take this shot from.

Maybe the fire crews needed to get into here and it was locked? It is a rather slender door, which might have hindered conventional means of entry.

A most excellent shot, by the way.
