Maybe the morgue tunnel?

That's a LOT of rebar, there, in any case. They didn't want anyone using that tunnel. Wonder if it was structurally unsound or something.

Rekrats & nvusofmotts: I never went back. Once was enough for me. But I also found the value of education--that in itself kept me far enough away from the authorities. So, in some cases, rehabilitation *can* work.

@coco

Yes. But this is just one block of cells. There are probably more in tiers.

Reminds me of Preston School of Industry (PSoI) in California. A small part of my mis-spent youth passed in that place.

@ Xipp.An Ankh is not demonic. It's the Egyptian symbol for life. And well said Rekrats.[:

Ctrl and + will enlarge, Ctrl and - will shrink, too. At least on my laptop... I usually view all the pics on Opacity enlarged, just to enjoy the extra detail.

I don't believe the ankh is demonic. I think it has its roots in ancient Egyptian fertility rites. Why does everything have to be demonic and/or Satanic if you don't instantly recognize it as a Christian symbol? *sigh* The world is a big place with lots of history.

Rekrats: I disagree with your last point. Rehabilitation isn't a realistic expectation of a prison system. It's prison, not counseling. People who actually DO the things that get them sent to prison are there to be punished for not behaving themselves in normal society, and causing unecessary misery for others ("behave" as in, don't rob, beat, murder, take advantage of, or assault other people. Period.). If somoene is a selfish, violent, aggressive, dishonest, deceitful person who cannot keep him/herself under control in the "outside world" (and I don't care about the "tough childhood/life"), they can sit in prison and rot, as far as I'm concerned (WITHOUT TV, gym, law libraries, etc..). If you do the kinds of things that get you sent there, you DESERVE to BE there. Don't do things that put you there. Duh. Forget about "rehabilitation". Not realistic.
