I can visualise the warden walking down the endless rows of cells, jangling his keys and banking on the bars with his nightstick. "Lights out!"

... of course I speak from having seen too many prison films, not personal experience ;-)

That is an amazing shot.

This is probably from the era of the early Speak and Spells and that little robot that lit up and made noises and would quiz you on various things.

Odd design. Usually prison blocks seem to have two 'walls' of cells facing one another across an atrium, with translucent roof. This one seems to be better in that it possibly gave the inmates a view through those full-length windows, though possibly the cells were built back-to-back and therefore didn't have their own windows onto the outside...

Okay, I googled this and all I could find were half-a-dozen eBay listings... it looks as though this was an electric learning aid from the 1970s that quizzed you on maths questions, and would have originally had a red LED display on the front, like a vintage pocket calculator. Before someone lobbed it at a wall that is. One of those auctions stood at about $50!

Damn that is cool! Reminds me of one of those old eight-track machines that fetch a small fortune now in retro shops. Too bad it's ruined, would probably be worth a bit now...

"Cybernetic Systems" - somehow the hi-tech name doesn't fit with this relic of the analog era - but then this may have been the height of technology when it was new!?!

This thing seems asout of place in a jail as possible.If I was in some big bleak prison and I saw something like this I think I would get a little sad.I mean this would remind me of amusement parks,holding hands with a lover on a ferris wheel,and all those things that were taken from my life that I might not experience again for many years.

It does look a little like something from a dollhouse,well dollprison.Elbowgeek is also right I think it looks like something built on a soundstage for a movie.

There doesn't seem to be much of the water damage that wrecks so many old buildings. I wonder if the roofs are still maintained?

In the UK half of it seems to end up on eBay...

Now this one makes me think of cold water...

Heh heh, yeah I saw that too!

The penthouse suite lol...

Tres cool shot! This one speaks volumes.

Does anyone else feel as if they are looking at this scene in a dollhouse? When I first looked at this shot, I thought it was a miniature.
