Pops19 used to tell my Mom "Duck, Mamma!" as we drove past.
He did the same thing whenever we were in Jackson, too...

Interesting. I spent a couple of months there in 1992, maybe 1993. About 10 kids, maybe 18-25, maybe a couple younger, none older. Most behavior issues. A couple there for jail issues. Mine was a vo tech kinda thing. Mainly taught life skills, how to deal with people. Woodworking. It was state run. I was there cause of our any drug I could find into me so I was on a two year detox kinda deal. Not really but kinda really if that makes sense.
Frankly place saved me. Very grateful. There and the O'Brien house behind the bus station. And other treatment places. But yeah hadn't thought of that place in 20 something years.

My mother was a nurse there when it was a Tuberculosis Hospital. My Dad came back from the Korean War with TB, and they married. I spent MANY hurricanes there as a child as Mom had to work and Dad was a State Trooper. I remember them having the best sweet tea I have ever had. Mom and Dad - like the hospital buildings - are all gone now. I too heard that it was to eventually be a school for the Central system. And at one point, the plan was to extend Hooper Road across the river to Watson which would directly adjoin that old property.

My daughter was a lifeguard at Holiday Acres in the mid 80's.

Have family right down the road from there. Great uncle used to freak us out with "escaped crazies" stories when we were younger.
Was a lot creepier before they cleared out those old outlier buildings from the roadside

My father’s company worked on all of those buildings for 40 years so I would ride around during the summer and go in there, Hansen’s Disease Center in Carville, Angola, Jackson. All of those mentioned had beautiful campuses and when those buildings were maintained they were really nice. Carville and East Feliciana at Jackson are still nice and fairly maintained. I was in Jackson a month ago.

I can only imagine what it looks like at East in Jackson....always wanted to go see the campus for some reason
When I was in nursing school my psych instructor used to work there so we got to do clinicals there for a couple days on the Forensics side. Crazy experience. We did get to tour one of the older buildings(can't remember which one). Got to see really old equipment they once used for ECT. Also got to tour underneath the building. Where it is just dirt and bricks. You could see marks in the walls where chains used to be to restrain people.
Guards there told us some crazy stories. About patients chopping their own heads off with table saws in the woodshop. Again...a crazy experience.

No...can't remember her last name but first name was Robin.
This was like 1999.
I was assigned to some mentally ill guy who had murdered some one. On my last day there he gave me a notebook of his poems, writings to help with my report I had to write. Being a naive nursing student I'm thinking "wow this will be cool, I'll get into this guy's head". Security cleared it, staff there cleared it, my instructor cleared it. I get home and the last page of the notebook is a picture he had drawn of himself escaping with "See ya soon" written at the bottom.
And that is when I decided no fricking way did I want to ever become a psych nurse

How did you come about your rating of the Central school system?
