Talk about modern prisons not having cages like this one ! Well then u havnt seen baghram or GITMO prisons. I'd suggest u run a google search for Gitmo and see the prison cells there. One of the reason they dont let much of the media to go in. Only that place isnt dramatically rusted or haunted caz its inhibited by prisoners.

My electric bill for one month in the summer for a 4 bedroom house here in Houston, TX is well above that!

*waves* Gr8 to see you, hope all is well! I always think of you when eating paint chips.

I just stopped by for a lookie-loo and to say hi. I see several people are still here - nvusofmotts, autoguy, tony c., eldokid@aol.com, Bill Door, nick, etc. Hi, all of y'all!

Toujours aussi fascinants vos albums et sites !....

this is an eye sore and the tax payers should have it torn down it would create jobs and clean up the area. The polititions spend more on a conference tha it would take to demolish this cesspool.

It is so sad may of the squatter and homeless are mentally ill or they wouldnt resort to living in these horrible conditions.

Rob P: That sounds reasonable. The bricks in the back/inside wall are the same size as the bricks on the front. If this was a wall further back in the cell, the bricks would appear larger. I looked up "standing cell", and this looks like one.

Imagine you were the guy who had to insulate them.

Motts....this last shot has left me speechless....can't you tell? I can't say a THING! Really, I can't think of a THING to say, so I guess I'll just move on to the next gallery because I am Sooooo speechless....

You JUMPED into the boiler room?!?! Why did you have to JUMP????
Oh, cool pic too....

So he put up a curtain in front of his "apartment"....some privacy, I guess.
When Zapfrog and I went through the factory (where I fell) we went in through a back entrance, stepping on a large board to get in. There were several "apartments" in there as well. Including a house and power cord brought in through a window. Well, on the way out, there was a HUGE....ummm.....human excrement....left on the board we walked on going in. I pointed that out, and said, maybe they are telling us something.....like STAY OUT! O_o

I'm telling you, I would have one HELL of a time walking on THAT old glass....after having accidentally fallen through a floor once in an old building! Lucky I landed in an empty hallway! Landed on my back, and cracked a rib....but....to walk on GLASS?!? I don't care HOW thick....

Imagine THIS.......
