Cell

I wonder when these particular cells were ceased to be used for occupancy by prisoners. It must have been a very long time ago, as I can't imagine cells without flushable toilets would have been permitted by health or safety regulations at any time in the last 50 years at least.

This is where a violent inmate would be held. Solitary confinment. You seem to forget that if they were alone with you they would kill you.

This is most likely a solitary confinment room. Even in modern prisons these places we call the HOLE!!!! do not have ru8nning water or modern tioltes due to inmates throwing fecal matter at you..

wowww this is a pretty crappy cell, like i know the people are bad and everything, but they don`t deserve something like that! - the bed doesn`t even have a pillow, and it looks scary.

Wow, are the containers on the floor from quarter drinks?? I think they are!!

Wow I only thought they were sold where I live. LOL

Motts, you should know what a quarter drink is.......

as late as 1990 prisoners in england wre still "slopping out" emptying their plastic pots containg their piss and shit, although it was frowned upon to shit in your pot so most prissoners would shit in a newspaper and throw it out the cell window, in the mornings some unlucky group of prisoners would be the "bomb dissposal team and go around with a cart picking up these nasty packages.......

That is very scary. If you locked me up in a place that looked like that then I would definitely want to kill myself.

I think that jails today should be like that at least for convicted criminals.

Even beyond the issue of whether they deserve those conditions or not is the more important issue of what those conditions do to them. Guillermo expresses a commonly held opinion about what kind of conditions convicted criminals "should" have [I'm interpreting that as meaning they deserve poor conditions, I apologise if I'm wrong]. The problem is that when you house people in shitty circumstances, they often end up coming out worse than when they went in.

It doesn't help the guards either; poor conditions are stressful to them too. Dirt, noise and squalour generally make people more stressed, and in a prison, this often leads to increased violence. So not only are harsh conditions not conducive to rehabilitation, they also undermine prison security and the safety of the staff and inmates. What often looks like coddling of prisoners is actually necessary to help maintain order and to help prisoners function halfway normally when they get out--which they nearly always do. [How well do you think you'd cope outside if you hadn't seen TV in ten years?]

[gets off the prison reform soapbox]

mad people were placed in the cell due to their volent nature.

my sisters name is jean .she is mental. she is extremly violent . they put in a cell similar
to this one . she was put in solitary confinment for a year. her condition is improving .

Hey, there is what you need.

looks like some1 has been there recently theres an empt pack of cigarettes on the right under the bed

eh, that place took lives...


Harsh.


At Eastern Penn.(Phila.)many years ago, inmates started using the poop pipe as a sounding tube to tap out messages in code.
The solution:just let the soil pipe remain flooded and only flush it out once a week or so.

When you all think your life sucks and you have gotten a raw deal from life....look at this picture.

Human beings just like you and me were forced to live in these conditions for years.

Be Thankful....
