This must be what you would call an "Enchanted" time out. : )

i know this is a silly question but when they shut a jail do they move all the cons at the same time or a few at a time, imagine if they had to wait for everyone to finish their sentences first,how mad would that be....go on imagine it....go on.......

its in abetter state then our british prisons stillopen

your knowledge is endless, thank you.

Hopefully, the irony of breaking into a prison is not lost on anyone.

wow... awesome view.

yo i live like 2 minutes from this place but anyways, i have heard many stories from people who have been here and they said they "heard things" is it true ??
BTW- maddd props to the photographer.

All that is left is C ward and the water tower

I just checked out SRL -- it's way cool!

Goth -- go into the Danvers site. You will see a lot of comments about Session 9. LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!

All of Mr. Motts' shots of Danvers are beautiful -- and this is one of the most!! We're so lucky we have these pictures to remember the place!

TT: Yeah, I'll bet you do!

Isabeats -- I spent a lot of time in SF and Berkeley, so NOTHING surprises me that went on there in the '80s. I would have liked to have seen this, though. I'm gonna Google them, now!!

Ever see the movie Session Nine? It was filmed in Danvers and this shot is vividly iconic to one of the main themes.

This is breathtakingly beautiful...

This reminds me of Survival Research Laboratories' performances in San Francisco in the early 80's. Mark Pauline used to go into old tunnels and abandoned factories to collect mummified animal corpses which he then hooked up to machines to create robots. At one performance a dead rabbit /robot tried to escape from a strange, flame-throwing machine that lurched along on square wheels. At another performance, dead rabbits twitched and jumped in front of a huge poster of Billy Graham. The shows were often dangerous and you took your chances going, but they were always incredible. I remember one where giant robots attacked each other, bombs and flame-throwers were going off, then an extremely powerful wind machine was turned on, blowing stuff everywhere, including into the crowd. A lot of these events were filmed and are documented on DVD. RSL is still in existence and is well worth checking out if you ever get the chance. I'm sure there is a lot of info about this on the web.
