I work within a institution that has two individuals in these kind of cribs. They now pad the metal areas and they use very thick plastic to line the bar area so limbs etc cannot get jammed in. These individuals both suffer from severe seizures, cerebral palsy, microcephalic, autism...just to name a few diagnosis. Since the facility is from the 70's and many of the beds came from an older hospital that closed in the late 80's, it's hard to know why beds like that were originally made. It's hard to believe in 2012 there are still cribs being used like that but really, there is no other way to ensure their safety. Life is hard.

Oh my god, I know hwich building that is....Great picture....I go to the school that was opened on the property.

This guys face seems to come through the window..notice the black frame!
