The preferred method for females was to surgically remove thier ovaries and then prostitute them out. This served to supplement the staff'sincome. This is where the tunnels came into play. Not only were they used as underground passages but there is a tunnel which leads to the houses across the street where the Doctors resided. This was also where the Doctors raped many of thier female patients. They collected cash payments from colleagues. The women were heavily sedated to make them more cooperative and less likely to remember names, faces, dates, or times. This is why whenever someone is admitted to a psychiatric facility or floor they are asked the day, date, year, time, and who the Governor and/or president is. Check in later as I tell you more about Connecticut's evil history which NSH only plays a small part in which the rich and famous abuse and oppress the poor and minority class. Find out what was really meant by the term middle class and why it's considered extinct. Were they really evil embassadors

right. As the patients were braught to intake they had thier clothes violently ripped off. Then they were literally thrown into the room and the door slammed. Then using a 5gal. pail they threw hot water on them they were instructed to soap down if they did not comply they would be stunned via a cattle prod. Then the door opened and the staff would soap them up making sure they cleaned the cavities which they logged as a medical intake exam. On occasion patients died which were logged as suicides. All dead bodies were incinerated along with all trash. Those ashes were put into a compost pile outside which was used as fertilizer for the property which was mixed with horse and cow maneure. The basement was used for electroshock therapy and experimental brain surgeries some were lobotomies and some were not. Most were conducted for the purpose of internship. The interns came from New London and Backus Hospital. The basementwas the last resort for only those who were die hards. Meds and torture didn't work.

received payment. The amount usually coincided with the going rate for a prostitute which in the 1980's was $50. This practice was discontinued in 1989 and decided that all involved were criminally guilty of abuse, negligence, and welfare endangerment. Families refused to come forward because they could not admit to themselves they had sold thier relatives into such an existance. As they attempted to cover it all up more ugly truths came to light. They released all patients that had been wrongfully imprisoned. The problem was most were incapable of caring for themselves. They set up housing programs and outreach clubs for the mentally ill like Reliance House. Now, as for these rooms with mesh doors they were used for intake. The new patients were usually uncoopertive to being wrongly imprisoned. They had such off the wall notions such as being Americans and squaking off about some constitutional rights being violated. Connecticut did a complete check of the state's constitution. They decided they were in the

Right On! Whitehawk is right. Also, this type of room was used for incoming patients being braught in many women were braught in for embarrassing thier families and crimes against the church ( CATHOLIC ). Thier crime was either having sex or getting pregnant out of wedlock. Most men were locked up for not knowing thier place i.e. blue collars dating rich or blacks dating whites. True criminalswere sent to Niantic Women's Prison and the men to Cheshire Penitentary. In both Niantic and Cheshire they had psychiatric wards. It is for the dangerously and criminally insane that are/were housed in Cheshire and have and occasionally still escape that have been the ongoing topic of town meetings for decades. NSH was never for the criminally insane. So. many of those being braught in by family entered the administration area. The marble was set up to convey both authority and assurance. While assuring them they were doing the right thing it made them feel they had no choice. To assure thier silence in the future they

Judgment is coming. Repent before it's too late! Destroying the evidence and making jokes will not save you for somtimes the children must pay for the sins of the parents, yes even up to 10 generations. This I promise you! For your evil has no limitations.

Lynne and Former Employee can go f*** yourselves. You think all this banter or claiming ignorance will somehow absolve you or help you sleep at night, GOOD LUCK! It was my mother that was locked up in there and was overmedicated and raped by Dr. Van. He is currently attempting to pay her off in property and gifts to get her to keep her mouth shut. Both the Federal government and the Geneva Covention say that the abuses that went on in places like NSH are crimes against humanity. They can and will be criminally charged. By the way KNOW IT ALL LYNN my mother stayed in there from 1978 - 1992! The abuse goes on today it's just without walls. Please call me a liar so you can incriminate yourself as you clearly support, condone, and defend the abusers. *JUST REMEMBER HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF A CRIME AND NOT REPORTING IT TO AUTHORITIES MAKES YOU AN ACCESSORY/ AS FOR NOT HAVING TODAYS KNOWLEDGE *** IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE!!!*** THAT'S WHY THERE IS NO LIMITATIONS ON PUNISHING THESE CRIMES. ALSO THE WORLD FOUND HITLER GUILTY

Imagine how beautiful this place must have been in 1904.

Wow, I`m so glad to see pictures of NHS, seeing as I live about 20 minutes away from it and never had the pleasure to actually go there. And I think its complete bull that they`re trying to build an amusement park on such a historical site. But anyways, keep up the good work. :)

Been there, seen that.

yo i have been to this place what building is that fire place in

I think the hole in the floor might have been used as a drain for when they would mop the floors down the water would go to the llow point there

Reminds me of the dog kennels at a Humane Society building kinda scarey since this place held the mentally ill

Thats hilarious, cuz when i visited this place i roamed a TON of buildings, inside and out... and i did meet security, and they were like "you drove ALL the way from NY for this place????" I said yeah, and they said "okay well just dont go in any of the buildings, they might be dangerous" and that was all... oh man, i saw so much that day... way worth driving 4 hrs for.

man that train is still there? me and my boys saw it and said it would be trippy if it just started moving around bt its self.
