Intake-Return

The textures...wow!

is this the inside view from the room on the priv image??

Oh, man, does this one ever gimme the creeps! That door has a menacing presence all of its own!

Max, yes, it does..... it seems to be an odd size or out of proportion or something... I dont think I'd want to be viewing that locked door from the inside.

That door needs a slot at the bottom to slide "the steaming bedpan" through.

Or an evil "nemesis pan"!

My facility has one communal bathroom/showerroom to a wing, and 1 to 2 private rooms with a commode. Thinking of Anna's comment, Ive carried many a "steaming bedpan" down a hallway.

I want that as the door to my room! Although the mesh would have to be replaced with frosted glass for privacy like!

This room does give more of a sense of privacy then the open mesh walls of prior rooms. The way the paint is 'bubbling' reminds me of the Lead based paint of the 30's. My parents house was wall to wall with the stuff. It was that (personal opinion here) awful green as in this place. It was very durable but 'bubbled' rather than peeled.

excellent photo...
there's no way back...Love this photo

This is a staff room there were no intake-return room in Salmon Building . They were transferred there by security and locked up .

I must be the only one who caught on to the title Motts.

i want to go see inside the whole asylum

I once stayed in the town of Norwich for a while . The story goes like this. When the faculty closed the placed as many patients as the could. the rest that had NO place to go was released on to the streets with 50 bucks given to them by the hospital. Now these patients didn't even no how to brush there teeth. If u ride threw the town of Norwich u will see the homeless out there sleeping under the bridges. Pretty sad if u ask me.

"Now these patients didn't even no how to brush there teeth. If u ride threw the town of Norwich u will see the homeless out there sleeping under the bridges."

Kinda like "u" don't know how to spell?

Coincidentally, there are a fair number of homeless sleeping under bridges in my area, too, but firstly, they aren't all mentally ill and secondly, there's no shuttered psychiatric institution to blame around here. De-institutionalizing mental health-care meant a lot of people were deemed well enough to function in outpatient settings, yet later these people may have reverted to a more non-functional state, eventually ending up homeless or destitute. It's a sad side-effect of the reversal from the way mental disorders used to be treated and unavoidable due to lack of public funding.

It doesn't mean patients who could not even handle basic hygiene were just booted out onto the streets from one day to the next.

Replying to Silkster40z's comment:

The door is very narrow, which makes it look taller than it is. The height of the room itself adds to this. Plus, the door opens counter-clockwise and outward. I find this unusual for a door positioned in the corner of a room. It gives it a claustrophobic effect. I would feel claustro and a bit panicky if I had to exit a room through a door like that, espec ially if it was the ONLY door.
