No, most were taken with a tripod... it was dim inside, and I didn't want to take a chance at having blurry photos.

I said it a few years ago about another of Mr. Mott's pictures and I have to say it again, "Attend the tail of Sweeny Todd"

I normally keep my mouth shut but man it almost looks like they just plunked the chair down in there! You should come photograph Mansfield Reformatory Mott. BTW, I know a few people around here /w the same name, and I'm even related to a few!

Hair cutting and shaving must be so TOUGH and this is the result after years of abuse by flying hairs and 3 days shadow beards.

Yeh, that room really went.
You can see what I mean by how thick that plaster is.
Can you imagine plastering the ceiling?A lost artisan's art.

this is not the barber shop, it was a form of torture which this prison had many methods of. if a prisoner was caught talking they would be strapped down to this chair for hours or days. with a metal mouthpiece in their mouth that would cut their tounge if one speaks.
