As uncomfortable as the barracks-style dormitory pictured earlier looked, this somehow seems worse. You get your own cell, maybe... but I'd rather be in the dorm.

MamaToFive - they can be. Really. Most people are not, but some are truly, fundamentally rotten all the way through. It's probably best to remember that, at least sometimes. I hate to be the cynic, but we would not need prisons if it was not the truth.

Oh sorry Larry D! I mixed you and A D Nilsen up. That would be the other evening when I was having some wine and posting. I need to be careful! Ooops! Hell, 54 isn't bad either. And, um, I had to stop myself from chasing some kids off my lawn (frozen tundra really, lol) a few weeks ago. ;)

So I'm thinking, once we push all the OPEN buttons, how do we close the things back up again??

Erica, this is not a functional prison facility... unless I read Motts' introduction wrong....

I would not buy one of those McMansions unless they agreed to leave the abandoned prison in my backyard. Instead of a kid's playground, we'd have an urb-ex playground. Total awesomeness!!

Those new housing developments qickly ruin the area where they were built. yet people pay a lot of money to live in these cheaply built houses

I know Motts exists. And I am eternally thankful!!!

MamaToFive, you're still taller than me. I am only 4'10". And a half, but honestly it doesn't make that much of a difference. I have always said I should qualify for a disability, because I'm about the height of a 3rd grader trying to make it in a world of giants, LOL!

I have six kids, btw. Opacity is totally my escape.

the colors in this photo are amazing! love it.

I don't think a clinic, or even a vet's office, is going to want to try and utilize this cancer-causing monster. As Princessica said, this thing is so obsolete it should have those big radiation signs all over it, right next to the skull-and-crossbones placards. As much as it seems a shame that equipment sits and rusts away in these abandoned facilities, some of the machinery is better off out of service.

sometime when i look at the pics, i try to estimate in my head how much i would charge to re-do the rooms lol...idk why

Claire, See that symbol right in the middle of the bag? That means bio-hazard sweetheart. Some people do need to brush up on their High School Biology.

penbow, i hope ur wifey is okay! mott's, i love the new gallary

wow, look at the pine ceilings

i used to work in retail, tinting house paint for a MA ben moore retailer

it was a great job, but very stressful at times, but i was very experienced and schooled in the paint business. we had company meetings time from time, and once the 5 store managers (i was one) were all supposed to think of ideas to improve the outlook of each location. my suggestion was to built and install a large oak door going into the stock room in my store. when they asked why, i said "that way when i get stressed during the day, i could slam it..." lmao!!!

im sorry, it was funny at the time!
