looks like there where more to the picture once?

Who knows where he is now, maybe your next door neighbor?

That was 11 years ago, wonder where he is now?

Looks like about 6'x8', have seen closets larger.

I don't think i'll take this one, do you have a room with a view?

I think the secure facility was constructed circa 1920; nevertheless I'd venture to say these were installed some decades after.

Yes but cell phones usually don't work in these kinds of places, so another person or two is always better.

kinda sobering now ain't it ?

Almost all the bricks at Lorton were produced on-site by inmates; not sure if they took part in laying them.

If I were to take a guess at what "Industry" means, I might go with a grouping of privileged inmates. Perhaps the dorm was for those who were allowed to work in industry at the facility (power plant, etc), as opposed to agriculture, which was a large part of inmate work at Lorton. I could be totally wrong too :-)

It's the corner of the bed "frame," which is really just a metal box welded to the wall. It does look like the floor though...

Think about it this way,I bet it looked really good if you where being released?

Not exacitly "the Green Mile'?

Better that than ,11Dorm, hog farmer

Veery strange in deed?

It seem so quiet and peacefull in the sun.
