Hi! JackieB love ya too. We need to meet someday.

Could I ask a question please? Why were kids put there? Were they diagnosed with a mental illness before they were put in there? I work in a State Hospital now, have been in the field for 26 years. I have worked with young boys and girls before. I found it very difficult, but most of the kids were not mentally ill either, mostly behavioral issues. I have read so much from everyone on here and it sounds like it was just horrible being in this place. I would just like a little background on the kids lives and such. Would appreciate any response but I also will understand if noone wants to discuss. I'm just asking. Thanks!!

Nancy,
I have worked in state hospitals, still am, for over 25 years. Years ago, they did not have the same diagnosis's that they have now. They did not have the meds they have today either. They used restraint's and other cruel means to handle a difficult patient. My experience is that, years ago, pt's were admitted for some really stupid reasons, for example, a husband could put his wife in an asylum just because he did not want her in the house anymore. And they admitted many many women for those exact reasons. They also would put homeless people, but not necessarily mentally ill, in the asylums too. Now days there are so many patient rights that it is hard to abuse a pt and get away with it. It still does happen tho. The trouble now days is that you really can't put your hands on a pt if they are out of control and dangerous to themselves or others without a good chance of losing your job if you do. It is really a difficult thing because to let a pt thrash about or assault a staff member is more cruel in my book than to give them a good shot of thorazine to put them out. There are way too many assaults against staff and the pt gets no consequences for their behavior. Laws are good and all, but they need to do something with the outcomes after a staff gets assaulted.

Heh, Msgt Mike. Did you google it and see if you can find the manual for the machine? Sometimes you can find old manuals for machines.
Good Luck!!

For a place that was supposed to have been very expensive at one time, that bed looks like it came from an insane asylum. Maybe those were nice beds at one time tho.
Such a cool place!! Would love to have been a fly on the wall thru out it's history.
