I only had to go into a couple of offices while I was there and one of the compounds. I was in my late 20s and thought some of it was horrifying. I only ever went to a toilet block in the grounds on my first day. Too many queers.. After that I used the telephonists toilet.

We found a book (big brown one with back n front cover that felt like was made of wood) with records in it, showing dates,reason for being admitted,medicine given,therapy given(and how many days it took for electric shock "sleepyness" to wear off....i couldn't get that book back to the room we found it quick enough! I had to tell my mum and aunty I stole it and what had happened when I brought it home(I don't believe in demons but that's the only way to describe what I seen leaning over the book almost looking like it was reading the book. That was in my room...We moved out of the house 6 weeks later as my mum kept seeing it.

I was a child when he was first admitted and he left there when I was a teenager. (Im now in my mid 30's)The electric shock therapy is what would scare the shit out of me. Seeing adults walk around like slow moving brain dead zombies...and as for people being given day release passes when they shouldn't be is 100% correct. We watched a lady walk out and stagger because she was so drugged up by them and then watched as her family arrived in the afternoon to pick up her belongings as she had jumped in front of the train at the nearby train station. This same lady would be walking around the grassy area near where my dad was(a fence was in between to stop the male and females patients being together outside) and at her own leisure lift her skirt and urinate in front of my brothers and I...this things were just the tip of the iceberg as to what I had seen..I still have nightmares about it all.Goobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560869967670563981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941111304586135286.post-33068433991309454652019-10-22T01:28:41.087-07:002019-10-22T01:28:41.087-07:00Hello Paul, I'm so sorry for what happened to ...Hello Paul, I'm so sorry for what happened to you as a child.

I currently work in the Mental Health field and see most day's staff with no empathy or care for their patients/clients. I hate the idea of having cameras <br />being installed in workplaces but for the protection of vulnerable patients I believe they are sadly necessary.

Like al...It's all so sad to see and hear about. Like all institutions (that I hear about) there would be horror stories along with cruelty but also compassion from the 'staff' members. Many years ago people would be institutionalised just because they had depression. Bright's disease is a kidney complaint, go figure. Why would one be put in an asylum for that? Maybe only because they couldn't get proper medical intervention and so they were probably upset (depressed) about it... one of the many, many sad cases of institutionalisation I suspect. God bless all the poor souls who passed through here and other institutions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356766360093439148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941111304586135286.post-11016965607583449552018-03-17T20:26:51.438-07:002018-03-17T20:26:51.438-07:00My great grandmother was a patient here in the mid...My great grandmother was a patient here in the mid forties.
