Norwich State Hospital's Salmon building once housed the male criminally insane. The design of the ward was such that a number of doors were installed inside the hallway and for one door to be unlocked, the previous door must be closed and locked. This helped to ensure that during the 70 years of operation, not a single patient escaped from this ward.
