You should send copies of these photographs to the Oregon Historical Society in Portland, but don't tell them I sent you.

Or to be put in jail or prison as you mention in a subsequent comment?

Except for those unjustly incarcerated here, which was better: this sad housing (and mental illness is indeed sad) or to be consigned as homeless on the streets of American cities?

The Oregon State Hospital is currently slated to be torn down...A report from the United States Department of Justice criticized the quality of care provided to patients by the hospital. A $458 million plan approved by the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 2007 calls for the construction of a replacement hospital in Salem with as many as 620 beds, as well as a 360 bed facility in Junction City. Construction of the Salem facility is set to begin in 2009, and be completed by 2011; the Junction City facility would be completed by 2013. Mayor Janet Taylor has called for the number of beds to be reduced to 320 or fewer, and another hospital facility to be built in or near Portland. During a 2008 excavation, artifacts dating to an 1850s-era frontier homestead were uncovered on the grounds of the Oregon State Hospital campus. Recovered items included earthen dishes, glass windows, a canning jar and a lamp chimney. More digging will be required to confirm if the artifacts are connected to the 1852 homestead of Morgan L. "Lute" Savage.
