Description

Pictured in 2018, this medication window is in a wing designated to house people found guilty except for insanity. An Oregonian staff photographer made the image during a tour of Oregon State Hospital in Salem, Oregon that included spaces with patients. In 2026, an Oregonian reporter, like the Marion county grand jury, was not allowed into patient treatment areas.

The Oregon State Hospital doesn’t have enough room for all the seriously mentally ill patients who need its care, according to a 55-page report by a Marion County grand jury.
