also gives me a lil vertigo, like in the movies when the shot gets far away and spins and makes you feel the dread of sumthin bad. like seeing the guy at the end of the hall who is gonna kill you. "NO HUBCAP!"

LOL@Larry D

@Eldokid I tried to "hold it" too my 1st time in, but if you don't shower the CO's will hose you down with high pressure hoses, throw louse powder and soap on you and spray you again. and yes there looks like there was a curtain, but you are still exposed to the people beside you just not across the room. or Ive seen clear curtains more to keep the water under control than showering,

Unfortunately I have stayed in cells like this too many times, either exactly like this or slightly larger (but u could have fooled me) with a bunk bed and a small shelf on the far wall. but you def wanna lie head away from the sh*tter and no soap dispensers, lol just a little indent on the left side of the sink, and it REALLY sux when someone on the block or floor somehow convinces the COs (Correctional Officers) that they flushed contraband because they can shut off the plumbing while the cells and sewer lines are searched, and can sometimes spend a day or more with no flushing. not the happiest place esp with roommates. Also interesting note about the light, it has either 2 or 3 tubes in it, where 2 or 3 are on during the day but at lights out it goes down to one light, so its never really dark. u learn to make masks to cover your eyes.

I agree with an earlier comment, but this looks like a perfect site for a prison movie or prison scenes in a movie. After all the quality of the site is 75%+ in good shape, and with locations like this getting complete overhauls into the prefab cinder block prisons now a days, it seems someone would have taken advantage of this retro reformatory.

I can play the scary serial killer biker.

One is not like the others....

Motts, another great exploration, always love it when i get online and there's a new gallery up!. I hope for all of us Opacity fiends you never do, but if you ever retire (or even sooner would be better, make a series) you should def write a book, with all these amazing photographs, and the stories that go along with them. I would def buy that, in fact Id like to pre-order one now. Thanks again and I wait with much anticipation for the next one.

i think i saw it move.... well, i could see how my mind would be afraid of it moving

what an odd place for a soap dispenser.....hmmm

I love this one, I attended JobCorps in KY at an abandoned military base and had some good times (and got into some trouble) exploring the abandoned parts of the base. wish i still had the photos. Interesting this was aslo briefly a JCor center. they must like to use old military sites. thanks motts!

This is one of my fav churches youve done. I love the beautiful gothic look

did anyone else see a skull first glance on the right? hmm..must just be me

Like a Techno-Pyramid of some sort

Dr. Beavis

heehee, ahem. sorry....move along

this is old, and you may not see this post motts, but as far as the outside shots, you should come back in a few days after your exploration and approach security and tell them ur a photographer and want to take a picture of the outside (its not like your gonna go inside or anything...*ahem*)

dead robot...

Agreed about the Fallout 3 refrence, I've been playing that game alot and evil robot from the 50's "future" is the 1st thing I thought..or Total Recall

*humming* "Schools...out for summer.....Schools...out for ever!"
