I don't think I've seen one without two sides. As a child the screen on the other side could be heard rolling down. When the screen on my side started to come up I would panic until the usually kind priest made me realize that I wasn't going to Hell that very afternoon.

It so sad that some old confessional booths ended up either on display
to be mocked and telephone booths in the Spaghetti factories. Ones
I know are in Dallas and in Houston.

Look at the confessionals in Holy Name Cathedral circa 1958.

The interior of the Cathedral does not look like that now.
