    What’s going on with that hospital? Is it surrounded by prison bars?Report

      I thought “well, let’s look at old pictures of hospitals!”

      I was guessing that most of them had grounds of a sort and the grounds were boundaried by metal fences.

      I found a couple of pictures of hospitals circa 1909 that had metal bar fences, but they were all about waist height rather than security fences.

      So I think we can chalk this one up to “Dude was still learning his craft.”Report
