Although, having been inpatient ages ago, most wards are bleak too, just not in the crazy way Bridgewater State is. (Never been inside, just heard about it lots while living in MA)

Exactly - I am assuming this was about Bridgewater State since it's the only state run Psych hospital other than the VA. Its called a hospital for the "criminally insane", so it's probably one of the worst places you'd be as a patient and certainly not the place I'd want to do an internship or residency. Regular psych wards are bleak but like you said, nothing like this place, which in parts is basically one step up from prison.
