utica crib
an adult-size restraining bed, this wooden crib was equipped with a lid and was capable of being locked. it was designed in 1845 by dr. anabanel of france. in 1846, dr. amariah brigham, the first superintendent of the “new york state lunatic asylum” brought the crib to the asylum in utica, new york. several modifications were made on the original design and thus the “utica crib” was born. the crib was designed in such a way that air could flow freely between the top and sides. the bottom was cushioned with layers of straw. the crib was used in case of “exhaustion” when the physical health of the patient demanded that (s)he be kept in bed. additionally, the crib could be suspended on chains and rocked to calm the patients. the last remaining utica crib was removed from use on january 18, 1887.
