It definitely makes one think about the repercussions of their actions.

It would make me not want to get into trouble so I won’t end up in a place like that.

It’s hard to imagine 5200 prisoners packed into those cage-like rooms. You did a great job on this very evocative post.

So much for rehabilitation. Although historically interesting, these older prisons are depressing places and even a bit scary. Enjoyed the read.

It is a stark reminder of how scary prison really can be.

Great rundown on the prison and its history. I’d be very interested in making a visit. The exterior of the prison reminds me so much of the prison in Joliet, Illinois.When I was a kid growing up in Lemont, Illinois we used to drive by it when going into Joliet.
