This room is typical of Eastern State. All cells look exactly the same, actually this one is pretty spacious I suspect they broke through the wall and combined two cells. The cement walls are different, the rest of the prison cells were plaster covered stone or possibly brick. Each cell has the same rolling door that was in the other photo, except they're generally painted black. All except one of the oldest cell blocks where the original meal pass through was the only opening into the interior of the building. The exits were out the back of the cell through private tiny exercise yards. The skylights are in every cell, lovingly nick-named "The eye of god" the design of the prison was to encourage self-reflection. Absolutely fascinating place.
