do you know that origanlly the penetentary originally was used for solitary confinement? and prisoners were not allowed outside without hoods on....every one of them had to put a hood on before they left there cells so that they couldnt never see another face or see the sky and trees....they even had there own little excercies pens which were like 10ft by 8 ft ......they couldnt talk to anyone or they were beaten they resorted to banging on the walls and moaning to eah other.....most went mad from the isolation....I was so sad when i went there......I felt like i could feel their presence.....imagine nvr seeing the daylight ....anway youre photos are AMAZING im so inspired great job and keep up ur God given talent

I love the woodwork on that door frame! Seems a shame to be in a deteriorating penitentiary.
