Back when this death row was actually in use, security was obviously incredibly tight. Not only did the multiple locks fascinate me, but the "unlucky" 13 struck me as apropos. See the small shelf, which served two purposes. The first was to slide food through. The second was to have the inmate stand with his back to it, extending both hands outside the door so that he could be handcuffed before his legs and arms were chained.
This wall was in the exercise yard for the death row inmates. It features multiple paint jobs, all peeling at different rates but in the process creating a remarkable piece of art. What's left in the yard are weights, a pull-up bar, and a boxing stand.
There was not as much graffiti as I expected to find, but this one is about as clear as you can be and fits well with what we envision of prison life.
A narrow metal hallway on the third floor of the regular prisoner's cells. The death row prisoners were held in a much smaller, one-storey building. They didn't share a cell, either.
