Photojournalism: Honorable Mention 2023 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
They called it a 'State School and Hospital'. It was used to house anyone who had any type of disability, from 1908-1987. A sad place, the energy there still holds the suffering that was endured. Shut down after the loss of a lawsuit, which showcased abuse and neglect, this facility was preserved as-is, to warn of future mistreatment.
Image is of one "dayroom" at the facility.
