wow, this place is in great shape!

yes, and hopefully you don't run into the tunnel clown...

twinkle - I had the very same thought as you - John Wayne Gacy.....
Very weird place for a clown painting.....

kind of a dangerous place for electrical equipment.

The checkered floors are also Masonic. Was this a meeting hall for Free Masons?

again Masonic symbolisim........

That room is very Masonic, lots of (Free Mason) Masonic symbolisim... it doesn't make sense in an institution though.

Well, when you think that our own bodies are usually between 96 and 100 degrees F (98.7 is just a median norm), it isn't quite as amazing. Particularly when one thinks about the temperature for hot tubs and jacuzzis.
Also, heated water is a bit more tolerable, when it isn't touching the head.

I realize that its probably plaster or paper or somesuch, but... the lighter materals on the floor, scattered like they are evenly against the darker, almost give the impression of light reflecting off water.

Opening a door into the void.

*shivers*
Reminds me of basement access in hospitals, from the morgues to receiving areas for transport.
Your companions standing there make it all the more eerie - wonderful atmosphere!

Architecture-wise, honestly, this almost looks a bit more befitting a seminary, than a prison.
Odd, no?

A throwback to my profession's humbler beginnings...
Unpleasant as it may be to think of, only having an air conditioner back there, it's a gorgeous photograph. The light accentuates the natural hues of the wood.

The large wash basin was actually, most likely, used for running out the intestines... The most unpleasant job anyone in the mortuary industry can ever have to undertake, and the job that most often gets handed off to interns, etc.
One doesn't use the larger, stainless steel sink for that. They don't have the proper water pressure, nor do they drain quickly enough.

Aaand right on the next image, you give me satisfaction :-P
