Forgive my comments Mr. Motts for as I read through the previous ones I find that mine are a tad on the darker, deeper side. There are lost souls in those rooms. Terrified of the voices in their heads and the images their brains made them believe they saw. I really believe those patients will be there forever. Not so much as ghosts but as one of time's many memories. Souls with eyes that stare out of those cell doors aching for something or someone to simply make it all stop and souls whose minds had deteriorated so much that their minds were no longer their own. Painfully beautiful.

This shot is so fitting as a symbolism for mental illness for me. You clearly and obviously see the wheelchair just as you would a person. Yet, in the background there is dark, mysterious room which for represents a mentally diseased mind far away from the real and tangible. Absolutely beautiful.

PLEASE no more soap dispensers .(:-)=<

I think this could have been one of the patients with a depression problem, being a bit ironic. Looking awful might have made them feel bad. Maybe they were trying to tell themselves that looking would make them happier. In the same way someone would say that skinny people are always happy and confident and being fat is never good. I'm just making presumptions, 'cause for some reason I don't think the hospital management but that on there with a pen, in an untidy manner.

The half walls were for privacy.

I meant electroshock therepy.

It looks like an old electroshop therepy machine.

Looks like a pts nightstand.

I bet those extra fingers come in "handy"! .
Sorry, it's late and my inner Henny Youngman just has to come out and play ;-)

Jak...It's called "roosting". The flock would fly into the building at night and sleep there. Just a little bird education for your thoughts.

Go out to your nearest street corner in any large town /city and you will see the crazies. Take a look at them and you will understand the meaning.

I can remember those as a kid in the 60's and 70's.

Awesome story theme for a horror movie.

The boys right hand looks to have 6 fingers!

Stacy...Soap dispensers could be ripped off the wall and used as a weapon. It sounds stupid but the people in these places could become very violent. A soap dispencer thrown at your head could hurt a nurse very seriously.
