860 Comments for Old Essex County Jail

Thanks for making my day Sir Motts! Great Gallery as usual.
I'm a document guy here too and find old paperwork fascinating
If I had to live there, I'd try and fix the place up a little
ashes to ashes, rust to dust
I don't think I want to know what went on in that room
even the view is depressing!
I agree, don't they pay scrap metal by the ton?
love the colors
what are those little square cupboard-like things above the cell doors?
I can hear the cups banging on the cell doors
nothing a little sandblasting couldn't cure
nasty, but a beautiful photo
imagine calling that room your home, talk about depressing!
It's a sad commentary but no matter where people have been, there's always garbage left behind.
Mica, the catwalks are transparent...thick glass...(So guards could see the floors above and below while on their rounds)
