Dark prison cell
I am guessing that there must have been many very sick people that did sit on that toilet. That room does have many germs in it.

Its just Light Graffiti, made by lowering the camera's shutter speed and dragging a light across the area youre taking the picture of. You can do some really neat stuff with Light Graffiti, you should try it sometime

That lock itself must weigh at least 10 pounds.

It's a drag that those bars got cut. The great thing about these old jails and prisons are the bars shielding cells from common areas. I bet they cut them worried they would scare off potential buyers.

I think Wormfood is right. Could they have beenfor some kind of holders for wires? Either for electrical service or one of those systems that people put on the roof in case of a lighting strike? Or could it be for barbed wire, to keep people from escaping out the roof then repelling down the side of the building.
You know, if they made prison's more like this one, maybe people would be less inclined to want to visit them. I would not want to be a guest of the "county hotel" if it looked like this place.
