It scares me that they had to put thick glass on there-Byberry must've been really out of control!!

Hannibal Lechter was in an insane asylum. He ate folks. I'd say that qualifies as disturbed.

It was stupid people that like to destroy thinks and tag things that are not theirs. Most patients are not allowed to become that violent the staff are at the patient's side to provent him or her from harming another patient or themselfs. and them they are put in the quite room and give medication and or restrains until they have commed down.

I'm pretty sure that this is the security room (seen in the previous picture; if you look closely, I think the broken glass is visible in the far end of the earlier picture). A patient's cell wouldn't have had so much glass, which could easily be turned into a weapon.
