The first image below is a set of dividers that were set up kind of like a maze.  I am not sure what they were for, but they attach directly to the electroshock room.  The two collaged images in the center are where the electricity was applied to the patients.  It is a very non-descript room.  I was told that the people were placed into this room in straps and a cart with an electrical generator was rolled up next to them.  The electricity was applied to the temples.  The final image is the recovery room, which held 5 patients at a time.
