Caption
Dark Corridor Their Sitting Room: All the state hospitals once had reasonably comfortable "day rooms" comparable to the "sitting room" back home. Day rooms are where patients spent most of their waking hours. Demands for bed space, caused by new patients crowding in, have resulted in many "day rooms" being converted in whole or in part into dormitories. Sometimes the patients have been jammed into smaller day rooms; sometimes they have been compelled to sit in corridors. The picture above shows a corridor at the Pontiac State hospital that is used as a "day room" because the institution is overcrowded. This typical scene is duplicated and multiplicated, with variations, in this and other state hospitals.,
