Even beyond the issue of whether they deserve those conditions or not is the more important issue of what those conditions do to them. Guillermo expresses a commonly held opinion about what kind of conditions convicted criminals "should" have [I'm interpreting that as meaning they deserve poor conditions, I apologise if I'm wrong]. The problem is that when you house people in shitty circumstances, they often end up coming out worse than when they went in.

It doesn't help the guards either; poor conditions are stressful to them too. Dirt, noise and squalour generally make people more stressed, and in a prison, this often leads to increased violence. So not only are harsh conditions not conducive to rehabilitation, they also undermine prison security and the safety of the staff and inmates. What often looks like coddling of prisoners is actually necessary to help maintain order and to help prisoners function halfway normally when they get out--which they nearly always do. [How well do you think you'd cope outside if you hadn't seen TV in ten years?]

After walking literally MILES of tunnels with dozens of branches and even having to descend different levels like Spiderman over asbestos-caked pipes, our guide pointed this out and told us it went up into a great newer building that had a dynamite view of the courtyard with the wooden gazebo.

This was in the first room I walked into in the first building I visited.
If I was five pounds heavier (I weigh 185) I would've never seen this.

It's upside down now, but still stuck in the window.

There were piles of raccon shit in 93 so deep you couldn't even get up the stairs.
Almost stepped on an expired cat too.

It looks like it's looking out of the window...

Amused Idiot,

This is the second flaming post you have submitted under two separate aliases. We would be happy to submit a complaint to your server if this persists.

I thought it was strange how they go all the way through the wall to the other side.

I wonder why they only put the larger stones on that one small roof section?
It's a Hell of a throw to hit these small glass blocks from way up there.

I can't truly speak to to the hauntedness of theold Danvers State. Growing up I heard all the stories. I know my dad checked out footsteps in the attic, on more than one occasion in the B and A buildings. (security normally didn't go there). I never had anything I could chalk up as paranormal happen to me in 16 years of the night shift. However I always had the feeling of not being alone in many spots within the Kirkbride building, when I was physically by myself.. The Bonner building was also haunted by most accounts,. especially in the basement, where the morgue was. Even when the place was active it was a dark and very spooky place to be.

Oh I'm sorry, I mistook those air filters as being items used to perform abatement.
D'oh!
