What is "Femal Key"? Is is supposed to say Female Key? Just wonderin'...

Glass on the doors usually means that the patient was either very violent or criminal.

Holy *bleep*. That is just creepy. Now, I dig old buildings and stuff but I would hate to be stuck behind a mesh door waiting for the nurses to give me my meds.

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage-Smashing Pumpkins,

According to my research and the tv program Ghost Hunters they did have a criminally insane (now days called forensic) ward. Still It would seem like somebody throwing themselves against the mesh doors could hurt themselves but maybe they were so doped up with all sorts of anti-psycotic medication it didn't really matter. A friend of mine and a former fellow patient at _______________hospital was given haldol and from what I understand it pretty much knocked you out on your tush. This shot has a very Silence of the Lambs look to it but then a lot of the buildings do. We do have an abandoned state hospital where I live and I have seen the outside from across the street but have never taken digital photographs. I need to get some photos but the area is kind of sketchy and plus most of the complex is up for sale which in my opinion sucks especially if it gets turned into condos or something stupid like a CVS or a fricking Wallgreens. The hopspital is considered an eyesore but it is important and should be put on the historical buildings list. But enough about that. Great photos from Mister Motts. Thanks for letting me vent a little.

I dont think her feet look bloody so much, I'd say more dirty than anything.

The yellow chair is pouting because the red ones wont play with him.

"Gender" perfectly named.

Was there a need for them because of patients getting pregnant? I hope not.

Sometimes the inmates would sneek away to be with each other. Nine months later- the need for a crib. They would keep the child untill cured or it would be adopted.

Dueling chairs! "You two - fight to the death!" =D

Cool. Great photo. Good place to walk during the night especially around Halloween.

Interesting shot. Too bad some a-hole broke the glass. BTW when I was recently at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxpsychiatric/rehab we had double thick
plexiglas in the mirrors in the bathroom but oddly enough there was no observation window on the door. We just had CCT hooked up
practically everywhere.

This is a creepy photo. No offense. It looks like some of the bathrooms at some of the reststops I've been to on long trips.

WTF? Is that an old bucket or something in the corner?
