What you don't see is the one piece molded vinyl bed inside this extremely tiny room. They were called "Seclusion Rooms".

There are NO homeless people and I've never brought a bat to Byberry in the twenty-plus years I've been exploring there.

My father's a retired Philadelphia Firefighter (30 years). He was called to Byberry literally dozens of times to put out fires there. Kids are constantly setting fires there almost weekly. Luckily, there's nothing left to burn and the buildings are mostly steel and concrete. There's scars from fire on every floor of just about every building.

ALMOST every building is made of steel and concrete. Old administrtion on the other hand, is made of all WOOD. If a fire starts in there, the whole entire building will probably burn to the ground.

Spent a month in a seclusion room. It makes you more insane being in there so i feel that they defeat the purpose
