One of the tougher prison I have heard of and seen.  When the officers say drop, its better to do so.  When you walk into the administration and level 1 areas for the priviledged prisoners there is a nicer mood.

I remember that summer in some of the other areas you could hear an ambulance almost every day.  I saw lots of labor opportunities as there were farm areas and lots of cows.  I did not see anyone working with these cows, these cows who left a huge stench in the air for the slow couple miles till the entrance.

There were many parts of this prison I never say, but I do remember one of the kitchens.  It always smelled like way too many eggs.  I would hear the food was good when the inmates prepared it, "they hooked it up."

Why is it no surprise that the photographs on here are crap?  Why someone can't take a picture of the sign at the entrance is beyond me.  The facility is old and worn down, although I'm surprised they don't have a prison museum, both with all the stories about the property since its inception in 1941, and the extra vacant land that's going unused (at taxpayers' expense).

And the additional questions on here are funny - I've never heard of a prison that accepts credit cards.  I think cash is the preferred method of bribery.
