Deserted Psychiatric Hospital - FAIRFIELD HILLS HOSPITAL

From Wikipedia:

Fairfield State Hospital was a psychiatric hospital in Newtown, Connecticut, which operated from 1931 until 1995. At its peak, the hospital housed over 4,000 patients.

The hospital contained 16 buildings on 100 acres, plus another 670 acres of land around them.

During its operation, treatments at Fairfield Hills included hydrotherapy, the use of the drugs metrazol and insulin in shock therapy, patient seclusion, electroconvulsive therapy, treatment of alcoholism, and frontal lobotomy.

A majority of the buildings were connected by a series of concrete tunnels. These tunnels were mostly used to move patients and equipment between the buildings, especially during the winter months and on bad weather days. Doctors, nurses, and other various workers also used the tunnels, and when required, even corpses were transported through them to the on-campus morgue.
