That's a simply pathetic little CAGE. Seriously. *shudders*

I'm so glad I'm a good girl lol.

I totally had a dream last night about an old jail... Oddly enough, I was accompanying Motts on a photo shoot (I wish) and former prisoners started to burn the place down while we were still inside it... strange days indeed

The slot in the cell door is indeed for passing a food tray or other items, but also for the prisoner to put his hands through in order to be handcuffed before being removed from his cell (and uncuffed afterwards).

If you had to "go there", you're well on your way to having a ruined life. Hopefully a trip here could save it...

Did you notice the white ceramic "outhouse" type toilet beside the sink - basically a hole in a white ceramic base which the inmate had to sit on. I don't see any flusher knob or lever so I guess the waste just fell down the hole, like an outhouse. That's what it looks like to me anyway. All your photos are superb.
