[8] However, in 1995, the hospital served an average of 780 adults per day with a staff of 1,157 employees and a total budget of $55.5 million (fiscal year 1995).

The buildings were considered fireproof - the floors were of concrete covered by linoleum, and the walls and partitions were made of hollow tile.

[34][35] Overcrowding was again addressed in 1944 with the passage of a bill authorizing $400,000 part of which was for emergency construction of two dormitory units designed for 80 patients each.

The review further stated "the scenes in the crowded quarters for senile patients were not such to make anyone proud of the support... given to this needy group.

[41] In 1977, the aging hospital required some capitol environmental improvements, electrical upgrades, roof repairs and new boilers.

[42] In 1987, a $4 million plan to rebuild parts of the hospital included a second admission unit, two more patient cottages, and conversion of medical services building to a day activity center.

The focus was to provide older persons and psychiatric patients residential and social options after recovery from the illness at Marlboro Hospital.

[74][75] From November 1942[76] to October 1946 the Mennonite Central Committee opened a Civilian Public Service Camp on the ground of the property.

Due to staffing shortages when he saw the project working, Dr. Gordon sent a person to other conscientious objector camps in Maryland and Virginia in the hopes of recruiting more people.

[80] When speaking at an engagement about the CPS workers he said, "they're strictly on the level - and a blessing to our institution in releasing the manpower shortage... they are not cowards, they just don't believe in war, more specifically in killing their fellow man... for religious reasons"[81] Using these men as attendants was not without some problems.

He further identified that other major causes were for "Dementia praecox, manic-depressive psychosis, cerebral arteriosclerosis, senility and alcoholism.

In addition to the medical director using "selective sterilization and eugenics" practices,[103] in 1937, consensual Insulin experiments were conducted at Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital.

Some of the more notable cases were: At a special community meeting in Marlboro, Dr. Seaxinger stated there had been 900 absent patients in the last year and a half.

[145] In 1977, Dr. Roy Ettlinger - Medical Director - suggested that the reduced funding and state appropriations resulted in the hospital becoming a "benevolent concentration camp".

[208] In 1988, the Freehold Township council suggested a plan to use some of the property at the Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital to house homeless families.

The plan was suggested to place families in mobile homes on the "Doctors Circle", a remote part of the property.

The farm provided vegetables, pigs, poultry, grains, strawberries, peas, beans, carrots, fruit trees and 120 Holstein cows for dairy products.

[212] In addition to psychiatric patients, Rahway Prison had a work camp unit established in 1959[213] on 15 acres across the road from the hospital.

[223] However, prison issues continue; Timothy Knight left the grounds in 1983 and was captured close by in Holmdel Township, New Jersey.

The basement level, all male, housed patients who were often speechless, incoherent or actively psychotic and included those who had murdered outside or inside the hospital.

Senator Codey used his experience at the hospital to advocate for stricter rules of employment, including fingerprint and background checks.

"The results of the investigation reveal a tableau of waste, fraud, thievery and corruption in which the squandering of taxpayer dollars virtually has become business as usual at this institution.

Senior Hospital officials repeatedly exercised lax supervision and poor judgment, allowing multiple abuses to flourish either by directly participating in them or by simply turning a blind eye.

[238] A solution was reached in that if these patients become security risks, they will be transferred to the Vroom building at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital.

In June 2011, $3.58 million was appropriated from Clean Waters bond fund for sewerage infrastructure improvements so the plant could continue to function.

Among the various options were a corporate park, residential development, nursing or assisted living facility, and a school campus.

Under those circumstances the entire record, which may have spanned decades of hospitalization was researched in an attempt to locate a responsible party.

[citation needed] Originally, the standard practice was followed for cemetery visitors to check a printed list for the plot number of their deceased of interest.

The names and plot numbers of the deceased were engraved in brass frames, arranged at waist level in a huge circle.

This allowed visitors to choose a landmark in or outside the cemetery boundary, and commence walking towards it, in order to reach the correct marker.
