Appears to be in good shape for a place that's been abandoned for 10 years. Great shot.

Very constricting.
Nice shot Motts.
It captures the essence this place nicely.

I love the angle, Mr. Motts! (And yes, it is indeed making me claustrophobic...I better keep my nose clean and stay out of prison!)

also gives me a lil vertigo, like in the movies when the shot gets far away and spins and makes you feel the dread of sumthin bad. like seeing the guy at the end of the hall who is gonna kill you. "NO HUBCAP!"

Sure shows the size and scope of this place. Lots of nice sturdy screening so they couldn't throw each other off the tiers. Leaving that open and putting sharp spikes below might had been a better use of taxpayer funds. He shoots, he scores. Your winner, Hubcap!

Normally I dislike these kinds of angles, but this time round the photo really shows you what it says on the tin - this is freaking scary! Good job!

officers were secured behind bars at the head of these catwalks. There was a control box where we could open one or all cell doors remotely with switches in the box. In one cell house, (cell block #3) behind the wall, we held super security inmates. They never left the cell without first being cuffed before we opened their cell door. These were dangerous guys who had earned their way to "CB 3" . To read some of their histories in their files, could be an interesting read. Very bad deeds on the street, and some in other prisons, as well as in Lorton.
