That's sucks that they weren't allowed to do that! It would have been cool to read what they would have inscribed!

ahhh another hallway fix. It's amazing as usual. Thanks!

The colour in this shot is spectacular! You make such good use of existing light, Motts.

Gee, Yaggy, I can't imagine why.

Yeesh ... glad I live where our biggest worry is finding somebody's pot field in the middle of nowhere.

found some people shooting up in a similar cell. decided to cut our trip a little short.

OLD JAIL ON NEW STREET

This looks like it's right out of the game 'The Suffering'. Nicely Done Motts.

This is where a violent inmate would be held. Solitary confinment. You seem to forget that if they were alone with you they would kill you.

Shoot them all I say! Yes, my opinion however, rude you find it.
Living like that is just waiting to die and I am here to expidite the process.

The bars are there so inmates cannot throw each other over the side. At least they only get thrown once

Yeah, walking on glass, no matter how thick it is, does not sound like a good idea! It would really hurt if one of those broke out from underneath you!!!

You'd thing theyd just use metal bars/ checked metal? on the floor, like some stairs you have these days, you can still see through them

Very symbolic: A prison that's nearly impossible to escape laying on the floor of a prison that was (I imagine) nearly impossible to escape.

Anji, did you mean to rhyme that last statement??

This is my first time visiting your site, and I must say your photography is trully astounding.
