when i was 18 yrs old i served a year on a 5 year sentence at ohio state reformatory the tiers and cells looked identical to this photo except at the reformatory the tiers were 6 high this was back in the 70s i have since learned that ohio had the dubious honor of having the tallest free standing cellblock in the u.s. it was closed in the 80s and they now have ghost tours there
