The entrance to a row of cells in the Ohio State Reformatory, in Mansfield.
These steel cell blocks, stacked 6 levels high, have been 'home' to more than 150,000 inmates. From the prison's opening in 1886 to it's closure in 1990, over 200 of those inmates never made it out.
The massive building is now open to the public, but you can easily find yourself alone in one of the many dark and decaying cells.

Sometimes two perch on the pier end cell phone tower. This one was being aggressively harassed by a gull, snapping at it as it dived past.
Outside wall of a police station, the exterior structures possibly marking the position of the cells, though this is not something of which I have any personal knowledge :-)

Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Originally, there was little access from the cell block hall to each cell. Meals were offered through a small hole. During those early years it was intended that all inmates would be maintained in isolation. The only access was via the small individual exercise yard outside. Later, these sliding doors were added as prison standards and operations were added. The prison opened in 1829 and operated until 1972. It was remodeled and adapted many times in that lifespan. I found the vintage hardware compelling.
Upper floor cells, 4 on each floor, so each small cell would have housed at least 2 inmates when the 'Richmond Sixteen' were imprisoned there.
Today i had 1 hour free time at the airport Stuttgart , so i took the chance to visit the Bosch parking garage. Hell yeah, it was worth it. :-)

Intermission at the concert. The moment the lights came on, the cell phones came out. It's a sign of the times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each one of these held four prisoners at one time ...
No wiggle room for sure ...
Only one man, could get off the iron like bed, and stand ... then he had, to give the next person, a chance to stand, and so on ..
In 1874 Each designed to hold four prisoners, were used in a small East Tennessee Town of Madinsonville ..... On December 20th, 1917. Will Upton And His Uncle Drew Upton, were moved from these to be taken to a haging .. It has been stated, upon their transporting, both sang, the song ....... " I Am Coming Home "
Our prisoners, and inmates, think they have it, so hard these days we live in ...
I sincerely THINK NOT ..
I had to put these 2 pictures together, because they go together ..so I made a side by side collage ..
No Need for commenting ..
My grandfather Reuben S. Horst took this photo in Celles, Belgium in 1948.
Celles is a village in the municipality of Houyet in the province of Namur, Belgium. It is also the farthest point that the German Army advanced during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II.
I believe the sign reads, translated from French, Here is where the Rundstedt-Offensive, was halted on December 24, 1944
Today this Panther G tank still sits in this same spot. Here is some information I discovered about the tank from doing a little searching on line.
The Celles Panther was part of the German Army Kampfgruppe von Cochenhausen, 2nd Panzer Division. On 21st December Panzer Lehr battle group was pulled out of the fight for Bastogne and regrouped with 2nd Panzer Division and the 116th Panzer Division Windhund for an assault on the town of Dinant to secure the crossing over the river Meuse. It fought its way through the town of St Hubert and the road to Dinant seemed open. Rochefort was taken on 23rd December 1944.
On the 24th December 1944 the advanced column of Panther tanks approached the junction of the N510 road with the N48. The local story is that the German's asked at the cafe if the road to Dinant was open, had vehicles been using it recently. The staff said it was mined and dangerous so the Panzer V commander decided to go through the fields. This Panzer V Ausf. G was the lead tank. It drove over a mine and was put out of action in the field below the Chateau Acteau.
It was left there for some time after the war. The Americans tested anti tank weapons on it. American Army engineers stripped it to try and make it lighter but they could not get it out of the field. It was during this period that the hatches, tracks and road wheels were removed. The Panther had ejectable hatches, so the crew would eject them and leave them on the ground. The cafe owner Marthe Monrique rescued the tank from the field in 1948 and put in pride of place next to the Cafe called "Le Tank" at the crossroads, as a monument.
A little more on the battle around Celles. When Panzer Lehr resumed its advance to Dinant it ran into the combat command A of the US 2nd Armored Division near Buissonville. On Christmas Day the protective winter thick cloud cover disappeared and the full force of the Allies air power was deployed, bringing the Panzer Divisions to a virtual standstill. The majority of 2nd Panzer's tanks, under Major Ernst von Cochenhausen had become surrounded near the town of Celles.
On 26th of December the rest of Panzer Lehr made two attempts to relieve them but they were turned back by allied fighter bombers. Cochenhausen and 600 or so of his men managed to escape on foot, having been forced to abandon all of the Division's tanks and equipment to the advancing Allies.
Peering into a cell at the Essex County Jail, with an in tact sink and bed.
This particular cell was locked, which likely helped to ensure it stay relatively preserved. Many of the other cells in this facility were in worse shape as they have been used by the homeless for the last few decades.
in the present time with cell and smartphones it's hard to find an old fashion payphone with people in Alajuela I found 3 at the same time , 1 for the kids 2 for adults

Cell phone photo. I was running errands when my eye caught this view that caused me to stop and snap a photo with my cell (I didn't have my camera with me). I normally do not like shooting with a cell camera but had no choice since I didn't want to pass up this photo opportunity.
This is also a photo I consider to be one of my best for 2024. It will be the first time I have considered a cell photo of mine to qualify as Best of the Year.
The bees are rearing a queen.
There will be a grub in that cell being fed royal jelly to make her into a queen.
Inspired by the very talented SuperPipo2010 Seriously, check it out!
I took his idea and put my own twist to it...I have to say this most accurately captures how I feel right now. I feel stuck....trapped...stuck in a jail I can't get out of. I have break out plans...I'm trying to figure out how to get to California but right now we're missing the place to live....a HUGE hole in the plot. I saw the counselor again yesterday and she gave me some ideas to look into...I'm going to see her again on Tuesday. I really need her to help me deal with this bitterness, anger, and depression I'm dealing with right now...
But yes...this picture MOST accurately describes how I feel...stuck, in love, trapped in darkness...with a little bit of hope.
