The electric chair has been removed to be used in the new death row prison, just a few miles away, but you still get a sense of what the execution chamber looked like. The hood above leads to fresh air, likely to remove the smell of burning flesh. There are also hundreds of red rivulets of what looks like blood on the inside of the hood.
These two prisoners decided to decorate their small, sparse cell with red paint. Where they got it is a mystery. Shot from the floor with a 14 mm lens, about the widest you can go without a barrel effect.
This glass-paned wall would have been one of the death row inmate's last sights as he walked toward the electric chair and was strapped in.

I spent several hours on this one, getting the light just right. It's a 3-part HDR, 100 MB, ISO 200, 70mm, 5.0 second exposure at f/13.
