Reckon it would've been pretty scary for the guards doing their rounds in here, hoping all the cell doors were secured properly...

You would need 40 ounces to walk that hall every night, Poor Guards!

The title puts Sublime in my head, but the shot is so melancholy! I bet the acoustics of even footsteps in here would be amazing.

You would think they'd make the hallways a little wider... It looks a lot like prisoners on either side would be able to reach into the middle.

I feel trapped, I don't like small places and that looks small at least, even if it's not.
Creepy picture but still briliant.

I see the locals are having fun...judging by all of the empty beer cans.

It is very very sad to see such a historical building being so neglected and now inhabited by Crack Head and Winos.

I suppose you would have to be drugged or drunk to want to live in a empty prison cell.

were the doors of the old rollback design?

They moved horizontally across the wall, but all doors in a cell block could be operated with a single lever (see http://www.opacity.us/...02_door_controls.htm ) - so they weren't as old of a design as the ones in Eastern State Penitentiary for example - http://www.opacity.us/...atric_department.htm
