Yeah I bet whomever did those drawings came to them every night.
Whatever got them through the long days and nights I suppose.

Not my first choice but maybe the person in question didnt have a choice on what picture he, I am assuming it was a male, could put on the wall. I agree its a little creepy without the whole thing but maybe he just wanted to stare into her eyes while he masturbated . All in all it is an interesting photo.

@ Michael; The newspaper clip is amazing. I never knew this facility had such a history. Thanks for posting the link.

So many riots has happened at this prison through out the years. Like in 1983, a riot happened that injured 8 guards. A Muslim riot happened here in 1962 A terrible riot happened in 1974, it was sooo bad, that inmates took people hostage. Fires also happened here in 1983, and 1986. The fires in 1986 were sooo bad according to the news article. It damaged 14 buildings, it also destroyed 5 of them. I mean wow this prison has a huge history. Probably more then what I have been saying on here.

That building looks like it has been caught on fire. Because back in 1989 3 buildings were caught on fire here. The fire was started by some convicts. The tragedy left 2 inmates injured.

This place has lots of history. Lots of riots that occured here at this prison, in the past, well from what I am researching.

They did release the hostages though.

I read on google news archives that in 1974, Some inmates took some hostages here. You can read about it here.

Omg. See, this is why I am afraid of heights

*Sigh* Kaipirinha, I have corns older that you.

Hm, I would prefer the 70s rather than 1980. Anyway, makes me feel better though I always thought I would start getting old soon, turning 20 this year.

The milkshake song was sung by Peter Griffin in the show 'Family Guy' when he was in prison - specifically, the yard.

Maybe this was a Decepticon-run prison. There was an Autobot named Hubcap.

Maybe that's the way to the execution room...

Hey, you're supposed to monitor the CALLS, not the phones! Put 'em back!
