The basements of the barracks were often stone and brick, and many of them were connected by short tunnels.
This old ward, not a victim of remodeling, still has metal screens over the open windows of the doors. It should be obvious why glass were not used.
Gloves hang in the basement of the former quality assurance labs.
A warped mirror in the rock crusher at the rear of the complex.
Strange graffiti in a side room. Someone was having fun…
A cloud moves across the attic in front of the window. How? A photographer’s secret.
Imagine the voice of an entitled White suburban mother. She’s now talking about oral hygiene in the “urban” (Black) schools.
In the ward for the criminally insane, this door was the most-worn. Nail scratches mark the area around the peep hole, the wood is gouged everywhere from thrown chairs and hard kicks, and a ominous blood-colored stain is visible where it dripped in the second inset from the bottom.

A color study of the rotting donated clothes in the former GB&S Machine Shop.
Pozo Mine, the most menacing mine building I’ve ever seen. Black and white film, shot with the Fuji GX680, a beast of a camera.
The man behind the curtain watches, but doesn’t say anything. Probably the smartest one in the room.
