Very cool set Motts! It's way cool to be able to see this place from the outsider’s perspective. It looks like that was a horrible place to be locked up in.

I see they spared no expense when it came to decorating and making stamping dies :)

I wonder if there was a specific intended purpose, it seems like a lot of extra work to punch all those holes in a sheet of steel that is going into a prison. although it was probably cheaper to make the cell walls like this instead of fabricating bars.

Very cool shot Mr. Motts!

Amazing that theres no vandalism or salvage stripping!
I also find the starburst punch outs intriguing, they seem so decorative in a place that requires little adornment! Why not just bars?

Seems like a fun place.
It´s a joke that have circulate here, when Motts believed that a soap dispenser was a lamp...but it was a mistaken, and now they are joking about it:-))

Thanks for another great set Motts! I live relatively close to this place and have often wondered what it was like. In fact, this past summer I worked across the street from the prison that replaced this one.
Beautiful bathtube...
