Two Forms of Light
The Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of the few explores of an abandonment I've done with permission. :P A lot of the cells at the ESP had narrow skylights which, to me, is more humane than the more modern prisons that sport no such luxury for inmates. There is something about having natural light that really helps someone get through the day. Of course, I'm sure there were other things about the Penitentiary that weren't that great and has been replaced with more gentle practices. Some would argue, I'm sure, that convicted inmates don't deserve such treatment, too. Maybe I'm going soft... © 2009-Current.
