I worked in this building in the 80's and 90's in the dining area. Wexcide was an iodine based disinfectant if I remember correctly. We used it to wipe tables and chairs.

So many riots has happened at this prison through out the years. Like in 1983, a riot happened that injured 8 guards. A Muslim riot happened here in 1962 A terrible riot happened in 1974, it was sooo bad, that inmates took people hostage. Fires also happened here in 1983, and 1986. The fires in 1986 were sooo bad according to the news article. It damaged 14 buildings, it also destroyed 5 of them. I mean wow this prison has a huge history. Probably more then what I have been saying on here.

That building looks like it has been caught on fire. Because back in 1989 3 buildings were caught on fire here. The fire was started by some convicts. The tragedy left 2 inmates injured.
