I always wonder why things were just left behind.

Did you stand on something to take the shot?

Those old mattresses weigh a ton.

Amazing.

I love the blue in the background. It looks menacing.

It doesn't look long enough in length.

I'm with Dean & Samantha on this one..

W A L L P A P E R! ! ! ! ! !

It's like you're expecting an evil looking mental patient, smiling like the joker, to come creeping around the door with a love me jacket on..

Great shot Motts!

I think the colors used in prisions are the same ones used in old hospitals and NYC public schools.. LOL

I remember the girls bathroom being that color green.. creepy..

This is a heart-rending photograph!

In an institution that housed thousands of people, the tracking down of next of kin in which to return these items would not have been feasible.

This image pays silent tribute to the thousands of people who passed through the doors of this institution.

My last comment is that your photography just blows me away, Motts. This peice of art is just beautiful .

No creepy, no crap, this should be preserved as a historic peice, If this country could get over it's preoccuptation with making the bottom line, we could be left with something besides a housing development. So sad that this fine old complex is going the same way as N.S.H.

It's the granite blocks, it just gives it a aura of strengh and industructability. It's there and can never be taken down. Although if it is. and it probably will be, those blocks will be sold to the highest bidder as it is in this here nunnited states and made into something that can make money. Sadly, even granite goes down.

the doors off to the storing of dead bodies
