Odd design. Usually prison blocks seem to have two 'walls' of cells facing one another across an atrium, with translucent roof. This one seems to be better in that it possibly gave the inmates a view through those full-length windows, though possibly the cells were built back-to-back and therefore didn't have their own windows onto the outside...

Very loud and the smell was very bad in the hot weather on the upper tiers.

This picture is the Columbus Ave. side of the Main Block, the stair railing in the lower left was the stairs from six tier that led to the library. The screening on the two upper tiers was added in the early 80's after several close calls of both staff and inmates almost rolling off the tiers during disturbances.

Can I ask why are there ladders? Surely the inmates weren't moved around up and down them? :)
