I'm surprised no one has broken that bulb.

It looks like peeling paint over glass tile that wraps a pocket door/window frame. Glass tile in a jail? Although I did some pretty fancy tile bathrooms in the Monroe Pen here in WA, go figure.

The glass stems with the blue tinge are crack pipes, the metal caps probably used as cookers to break down drugs for injection. Some of those clear container thing look like they could be ampules though, either way best to steer clear of a mess like that. "shooting galleries" are not uncommon among drug users and when you see stuff like that it usually means there is more than one user who has found this spot. best to steer clear as they may find your equipment pretty inviting.

211 AKA Steel Reserve has been around since at least the 1990s.

Dark soul? Well, maybe he does, but to be fair, what we know about Motts is really only what he shares with us on this websiite. I have a relatively happy disposition and am a mother of 3 and a business owner, but I am drawn to this site and it's images for it's artistic beauty...maybe it seems dark; or many we all have "dark" aspects of our personalities...

The worse thing about being in jail is this: No matter where you sit, or where you lay, there's no way of getting comfortable. Every surface is hard & it hurts to be on it. And you can't get away from it. Minutes seem like hours. The food is like dog chow. Oh, and there's that whole anal rape thing that gets old after a month or two.

surprisingly depressive for me. like, "now you can see what you won't ever have more."

that's insane. you can see, there's no real "light at the end on the tunnel". there's just some little blue piece of crap for you and then you'll fall to the darkness again.
