I have lived In downtown Springfield and from that jail you could see the buildings on main st (tower Square And recently before the knock down
the newapaper said there was a gost from when the states last hanging took place in 1899 it was the guy who got hanged.

My fear of heights would have kept me from working there - and would probably have made me insane as an inmate.

Didn't anybody know a friend who had an uncle or cousin who pushed a cotton candy cart in the big house? No? I got nothing then. Surreal shot.

is that a toilet in the background??

Excellent shot,it is a jail made me creep and horror)))

E's sister... we'd all but 'wait in line' for our time on the mathiputer. I've vague memories of Mom setting the kitchen timer. Fun times!

I believe that's the first model. I've got a Mathiputer that my dad got when we were kids. It's one piece (without stand) and is bright yellow. It still works. Solid state. The mathiputer is awesome! Great photo!

Wow...That's amazing.

Institutional showers are pleasant compared to these. They have tiles in yellow and green, better than the cement in here. Some even have shower curtains, not too bad!

mr.motts
was it hard to get in to this prison

That's a terrible tile job. Wonder why they used wood instead of bullnose tiles?

It's the thin blue line.

Does it ask the jailbird math questions too? "Johnny stole five apples. If he shoved three down his pants, how many...."

I love it when theres so many coats of paint it peals off in huge sheets.
