They don't build them like they used to. So much beauty going to waste.

For a first timer, the sight of the long row of cells would really raise the spincter factor.

Reminds me of my military barracks. Same layout, same lack of privacy.

Your black and white shot increases the feeling of desolation and hopeless the prisoners must have felt.

Columns

When I was 14, my dad took me and my brother to Eastern State Hospital to visit a friend of ours. Don't remember why he was there, but I remember a room like this full of male patients, just standing around looking so much like lost souls. It gave me many nightmares for a long time. Your photos ignite ones imagination.
