Its just called a hopper, they use them for all kinds of stuff. Pretty much the dumpster thing described above.

Tu as de la cnahce de pouvoir bosser à la maison ... théoriquement, je pourrais le faire car j'ai mon pc portable et comme je ponds pas mal de documents , je peux aussi bien le faire à la maison qu'à mon bureau. Mais je bosse dans une grosse boite et ce type de comportement n'est pas forcement encore dans l'air du temps !!

You don't see masonry work like that anymore! What a shame..

So many riots has happened at this prison through out the years. Like in 1983, a riot happened that injured 8 guards. A Muslim riot happened here in 1962 A terrible riot happened in 1974, it was sooo bad, that inmates took people hostage. Fires also happened here in 1983, and 1986. The fires in 1986 were sooo bad according to the news article. It damaged 14 buildings, it also destroyed 5 of them. I mean wow this prison has a huge history. Probably more then what I have been saying on here.

That building looks like it has been caught on fire. Because back in 1989 3 buildings were caught on fire here. The fire was started by some convicts. The tragedy left 2 inmates injured.

This place has lots of history. Lots of riots that occured here at this prison, in the past, well from what I am researching.

They did release the hostages though.

I read on google news archives that in 1974, Some inmates took some hostages here. You can read about it here.

WOW THAT CHAIR IS SCARY!

Very sad. :-(

Looks like a film from the late 60s.

It does look like a chin strap to me too.

I am a lurker, on this site, so you guys don't see much of me, but this is very disturbing. I feel sad for students like that. Just think that they have to live like that. Its soooo sad. :-(

Perhaps Taylor Miles would sing a different song had he spent his life controld wirhin these walls?

Beware of the "State" you may find yourslf incarcenated in such a place one day.

I wonder how many lives were lost within this confinement? How does one justify fourty or fifty years in a hospital withonly a blank folder to state their treatment during hte time they where there.

i doubt kppc nugz did anything people would come running fast and it could damage it but turning it off is like turning off a switch on is alittle more complicated

I remember going to Welfare Island about 1960 because my maternal grandfather was a terminal patient at Bird S Coler hospital also on the island. My father took us to the end where the old hospital was and he seemed to be very interested in the old bldg but didn't share why
It was 30 yrs later as I did a family tree that I discovered that my paternal grandfather died at Metropolitan Hospital in 1935
In 1961 there was still debris from the old hospital around like wooden wheel chairs and old equipment , probably because it really looked like a haunted house in those days

I worked there, too:

It's not the same dental chair, but it still brings back memories:

I worked there -- behind that door was a small room, furnished with a metal bed that we would tie the patients to when they needed to be restrained. We'd actually always leave the door open when somebody was tied to the bed, and they'd be watched the entire time to make sure they didn't struggle too much or get free or manage to hurt themselves.

I worked there, too, which I'm sporadically documenting:
