The Salmon building at Norwich State Hospital in Connecticut was designed as a male forensics building, housing the criminally insane deemed 'not guilty' by reason of insanity. Each window contained prison style metal bars and a heavy mesh screen. In the 70 years Norwich was in operation, no patients escaped from the Salmon ward.
