BKW Ontario As far as I can see, this is what is says, this is a quote, the bad words are not mine: I don't have no visits. I was going to try and get one of these (the bad "n" word) to try and get me some of that shit and what I like but I'm stuck. My visits don't start for another two more weeks and these dudes from here are bullshitten. So no! Mauricevique (I'm guessing at the name, probably I'm wrong). Seems to be a note in answer to a note question from another person.

	BKW Ontario Wow that's narrow. Great shot.

	BKW Ontario Wow. And he could spell too.

	BKW Ontario Is this "America's - you (with the r missing) the no black state - Va" for Virginia and with is missing between the you and the "the". As Rachel says, are those witchcraft symbols, or perhaps gang symbols, or clan symbols??

	BKW Ontario At least it gives some privacy if the person is on the toilet. Perhaps these were in cells where inmates were allowed not to be in full view 24/7.

	BKW Ontario I'm surprised the inmates were allowed to write on the walls.

	BKW Ontario That's great, A D Nilsen, made me laugh :). Not a lot of room in the cell, encourages a person to think about what they did and that they should not have done whatever it was they did.

	BKW Ontario That's your combination sink-o-let (sink and toilet in one). In stainless steel. I wonder if that dates back to when the prison was built, or were installed later? I think Motts said the prison was built in 1901? Maybe then, they used china toilets or maybe outhouses?

	BKW Ontario Wow, great shot. Looks to be in very good condition, no ceilings falling in, etc. Amazing for a 101 year old building.

	BKW Ontario Beautiful with the blue sky.

	BKW Ontario The diamond in brick over the door is amazing, all the surrounding bricks had to be cut to fit around it too. I wonder what the word Industry means, perhaps each dorm had a motivational name, like Industry, Honesty, Attitude etc.????

	BKW Ontario From the look of it (lack of bars etc) I would say you're right as to it being the minimum security part.

	BKW Ontario Great shot, with the wall in the exact centre.

	BKW Ontario Fantastic! A new gallery, perfect for this cold and snowy day. I agree, it is strange seeing the new homes in the background. I presume the prison will be torn down?

	BKW Ontario Maybe the tiled one was for patients, the one with the red overhang was for staff lectures and presentations and this wood panelled one was for doctors?? Thanks again for a great gallery Mr. Motts. I look forward to the next one, soon I hope.

	BKW Ontario Once again a great shot showing Motts' unique talent.

	BKW Ontario Thanks for the before picture, it adds a lot. Once again, Mr. Motts your eye is excellent, in tilting your shot to add more angles to those in the walls and windows...so much more interesting than taking the photo straight, as one normally would.

	BKW Ontario You're right, Ferdy, I hadn't noticed that. With all those seats and only one aisle on one side, I'm sure that would be a building code violation, today anyway. In an emergency, I'm sure lots wouldn't get out. (I work with disaster planning.)

	BKW Ontario Yes, strange that the theatre is tiled. I wouldn't want to have a fire drill in there either, there is no room to move or exit.

	BKW Ontario I thought they were papers or paper files. Looks like lots of locks on the green door.

	BKW Ontario Wow, a Sunday surprise - a new Gallery. Made my day. Wonderful. Thanks Motts.

Location: Norwich State Hospital  Gallery: The New

	BKW Ontario An amazing shot. Once again Mr. Motts has an excellent eye for angles. FIrst you see the tree trunks, then it hits you that there is a tower behind, and with reddish sky to cap it off. Fanastic!

	BKW Ontario Yes, Meri and TootUncommon, you're right, it does look like a hospital laundry bin tipped on its side.

	BKW Ontario I'd like to include all who view Mr. Motts' galleries in my Christmas wishes. Happy holidays to all.

	BKW Ontario That's great Larry D. :) LOL LOL Wonderful.
