Behind Bars

M Scannell

It is sad to see the hospital in this condition
my father was the chief supervisor at Worcester State for twenty five years. I was
born on the property at 269 Belmont st in
1920 and lived there 18 years I roamed every
inch of that property inside and out. The
patients weather permitting were taken out
for walks .Some were on parole status
they could go to the city and roam Front st and Main st or any where in the city. I was one of the two alter boys to serve mass there, for
years. Also went to the movies on Mondays
there was so much good done with research
then .....................A lot of it was crude but so
was life at that time..
