Generic Chucks? I remember Sears, Grants, Woolworths and JC Penney all sold imitation Chucks. Other brands from my youth are U. S. Keds and Bata Bullets. All were styled about the same.

Sketch-
There was a time not too horribly long ago that 'Chucks' didn't cost 40 dollars a pair. I bought my first pair of Royal Blue Chucks for 10 bucks.
Okay, so I was in my first year of High School.
Point was: When they did this, they weren't brand name. My dad tells me stories that his 'chucks' were given to him in highschool as requirements for proper dress attire for Gym Class.

I never understood the deal with razor wire. Why let them get that high? Why not just put an electric current through the fence and be done with it? I guess if it were raining it wouldn't work...

Those are either Converse AllStars (Chuck Taylor's for our UK friends) or a really good imitation of them! I don't think I have a pair of white AllStars... Any in a size 12? :D
Of course, then there is the question, why are they providing name brand shoes to inmates?

I bet back in the day, people were dying to get on that table!!! LOL

Dude that is a hopper used in old hospitals to dump stool and urine from bedpans.

It's definately steam....

The insulation on the piping and such isn't so much to keep the steam from being cooled as it is to prevent the surrounding area from getting too hot - and to prevent severe burns in case of accidental contact...

Chris,

Steam can actually go well above 212 degrees - and normally does in power plants. J is probably right...

Wow! That should be framed and considered a contemporary classic in modern American photography. I'm serious!

SE MIRA A TODA MADRE!
