The brick is layed in whats called a English bond. Very strong bond. 1st course will have 2 layers of brick with the next course on top turned 90* making every other course seem like smaller pieces when it is actually the side of the brick. Beautiful work.

It might not be vandalism they are rather cheaply made with expanded metal wire and paper mache and plaster. Could easily be that the expanded metal rusted out and the heads fell off when being moved.

I am sure every photographer has a few downward looking photos with their toes in the frame. Love the pipes, flanges, bolts, rust and great depth of field.

Spent about a month and half in what you call "caged off area" assigned to a mattress on floor. Never saw a cell block or yard. There were about 40 mattresses on floor with about 2 feet square around each. Book cart would come in, that was about it. It was actually not that bad, most people were in for a very short period, a few days to a week then assigned to cell or released on bond or PR. I had trouble being bound over to superior court and was eventually released.

This was actually the intake, the first place that a newly arriving prisoner saw. (1976) There were visits here as well. There was an echo effect and a sort ever present breeze from door traffic.

I actually spent November and parts of December 1976 in pretrial confinement here. It was so over crowded that those in pretrial were in a big holding area assigned to a mattress on the floor in one of the halls. I still remember this view. Thanks!!
