Prison for Women, Kingston, Canada

Closed since May of 2000, this handsome building was until recently surrounded by a high and faceless concrete wall. It is now owned by Queen's University, and all but one section of the wall is gone.

 

You can read more about the recent history of this grim place on the Correctional Service Canada website, or in greater and more official detail in the text of the Arbour Report on the website of the Solicitor General of Canada.

 

3-exposure HDR at full wide (14mm), Sony DSC-R1, f/3.5, sitting in a weed. The camera shot brackets using 1/500, 1/1,000 and 1/2,000 of a second with exposure compensations of -1/0/+1.
