Fascinating. Confinement to not only your cell, but the partitioned hallway as well. That's almost more cruel than it needs to be! At least they let the fresh air in by way of the windows...York is quite humid in the summertime.

I'm both surprised and not very at the fact that there's very little vandalism here. This prison is on my hometown, and is set in the worst neighborhood in York City. It'd be my assumption that vandals would make the most of an abandoned building in their vicinity. However, it's an abandoned prison, not just any old place, and a creepy, imposing structure - my best friend and I used to drive by it at night when we were teenagers just for the thrill. :)

That said....thank you, Motts, for allowing me to see a place I've always had a morbid curiosity about, and have always wanted a peek inside.

Beautiful perspective.

What on earth is that thing ABOVE the yellow table? It sure doesn't look like a fan...

What a gorgeous shot! Who knew industry could be so beautiful.

I wonder why there's a letter from the Russian alphabet on the label above this?

The intricacy in creating a power plant like this is staggering. Imagine each pipe and each bolt fitting just so to create the entire building. I can't believe amazing places like this are left to decay.

That's a Carolina Wren...poor little thing.

I imagine there are lots of dead animals - mice and rats and other birds who fly in through broken windows and get then can't find another way out - in places like this. This is the first dead animal photo I've seen here, though.
