You also have to remember that alot of these place were closed because of the physical, mental, and sexual abuse that was inflicted on the patients by members of the staff.

melissa right it's routine to have wide hallways on violent patient ward for ease when having to extract a difficult patient if they have fouled their rooms for example.

I just found out that my Great Aunt Mabel was transferred to Central Islip -Psychiatric Hospital in the 1950's. She was an artist who was institutionalized when she was in her 20's- back in the 1930's. I wonder if she lived here. I wonder if she was able to create her art as a way of coping with this kind of life. I'd love to know more!!!! Being an artist and an Art Therapist I am very interested in any information anyone might have about her- I don't even have a picture of her. She would of turned 96 this past March. Could she still be alive?
