Ironing Board

Lit only by a flashlight, we saw this ironing board
in a pitch dark room in the basement.
I wonder if anyone really cared about the patients
having wrinkles in their clothing.
It seems ironic (no pun intended) to think that after the abuse the patients
endured that they would have their laundry pressed for them.
It's doubtful to me that this was used to benefit the patients.

When the cases of mistreatment in Asylums and childrens homes in U.K. were taken to account all said places should have been terminated. Since the staff in such places were brutal, sadistic and clueless about any kind of "care" at all.
