Hello my dear inmates!!
Today is Monday but it feels like any other day …. I absolutely lost track of time lol Today we are celebrating red as a color of a day at Color My world Daily Group. And at Macro Mondays the theme is shadow…
So, here is my contribution to these amazing Flickr Groups. Just for the record, my tiny black bicycle is about 2,5 cm long and I have it in several colors.
When you are reading this, I’m probably still a little bit off because of my double Easter celebration via FaceTime with my family and my in-laws. Yes, there was a lot of gin & tonic involved (you know me, I could not resist;-)).
Thank you so much for all your comments, Easter wishes, favs, positives toughs and your general support!! I will be back tomorrow with another picture and perhaps another story …
Thank you very much and I wish you and amazing day my friends!!
At the mountain of Parnitha, just few kilometres from the centre of Athens, there is a different park . This park it's about reminiscence and remembrance.
It's an outdoor exhibition featuring twenty sculptures carved from burnt logs of the 2007 wildfire. The exhibition opened on October 2012 just opposite an abandoned building whose original use was to serve as a sanatorium from 1912 till 1960.
The sanatorium treated people who suffered from the scourge of the era, tuberculosis. Thousands of people were hospitalized there.
The exhibition, aptly entitled “The Park of Souls”, is dedicated to the memory of those who lived and died there and attempts to re-create the feelings of the inmates.
For literally decades I have passed this beautiful church but usually I was always in a rush as I always had to be someplace to go or people to meet. This day was no better I was busy to heading downtown to cover the Halloween Parade but at least this day I grabbed a quick shot and decided to look up the history. Finished in 1846 in was designed James Renwick Jr. in French Gothic Revival Style. It's walls were built out of Sing Sing Marble from a nearby quarry next to historic Sing Sing Prison were the inmates were hired out to cut out the stone as a cost saving measure. The original spire was wood but was replaced with a stone spire in 1888. When the church opened it became very popular with many of the wealthiest families in the city as it outclassed many of the simpler wooden churches that existed in the city at the time. During the mid 20th century it was designated a New York City Landmark and now also enjoys National Landmark Status.

One of the entrances to the casemates of Spilberk Castle in Brno. Long used to incarcerate criminals, political prisoners & prisoners of war, the casements are a grim reminder of times when inmates were treated rather more harshly than now.

Noticed this interestingly named street in Oakham, Rutland. For those of you whose native tongue is not English, ‘Gaol’ is pronounced’Jail’, so this is ‘Jail Street’!
Trying to find some background info on the history of the gaol in Oakham, I discovered that the gaol was actually located in Station Road, close by. Why this street is called Gaol Street could be because the local court was situated on it?
Even the gaol on Station Road did not last too long, just from 1810 to 1878, closing down because not enough inmates! Was Oakham too law-abiding?
From my 2017 archives. Forlorn tiny inmate bedroom cell at Z Ward, where the criminally insane of Adelaide were locked back in 1885. The criteria for being an inmate was having committed a crime and posing a danger to others and/or themselves due to insanity.
I currently work at a non-profit organisation that provides support service to the intellectually disabled. We have come a very long way since the days of Z Ward. Today the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme promotes individual rights to freedom of expression, self-determination and decision-making, and actively prevents abuse, harm, neglect and violence. This is further enforced by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
All losses are caused by different reasons, but a select few of them happen because something was straight out taken from us, or we were taken ourselves. Imagine being not only stripped of your clothes, your dignity, and your pride, but also being forced to go along for the ride. A ride that involves no acceptance, no going with the flow, no ability to fight, just being absolutely forced to comply with everything and everyone being taken from you.
This can all be metaphorical to describe a situation in your life, but it can also be exactly what it describes. Sex trafficking is still a very real thing and is one of the worst kind of losses you can go through as a human being. Did you know that over 27 million people a year are forced into jobs, not just sexual ones, but hard labor jobs as well? You hear about the numbers sometimes of women and girls forced to be sex slaves, but you don't hear about the number of slaves working on farms, ranches, in mines, and this doesn't even include the number of inmates locked up on bogus crimes and forced to do the jobs society has deemed undesirable. Silenced, subdued, shackled, and sometimes raped repeatedly, there are depths a person can fall into that are unimaginable while the rest of the world declares "We should do something." While sipping their starbucks, and going to get a massage on the weekend at the spa from one of the trafficked women in town.
Next time you feel like you've lost everything, just remember there's a lot further you could fall, and your situation can most likely be fixed a lot easier than some other people's darkest days.
A nice bit of detail in the gate to the infirmary at the old Eastern State Penitentiary. Corrosion and decay are everywhere in this place. It's a non-stop battle to keep a 185-year-old prison from turning into dust.
The Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm (est. 1904), located in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines, is a unique correctional facility known for its open-prison concept. Inmates are allowed to work on the vast 45,000-hectare land, engage in farming, fishing, and other trades.
The facility's rehabilitation program emphasizes work and reintegration into society. Inmates earn wages that can be used to support their families and save for their release.
We were able to visit the colony with an International Press Card.
Nowadays Iwahig has become a tourist attraction where visitors can interact with inmates, purchase handicrafts made by them, and witness the unique prison environment.

Hello my Flickr Inmates!!
I hope everyone had a great weekend and you are ready for another lockdown week to start!
Today we are celebrating plastic at Macro Mondays and red is the color of the day at Color my World Daily.
After, her alone time on the top of her mountain (see yesterday’s picture) Red Lady had eventually to go back to her family and her lockdown life. Once at home she decides to explain to everyone in her house how to properly wash their hands.
Of course, for some it was more difficult than for others. Mr. Plastic Dino was truly lost in the whole process… His hearing wasn’t that good so Red Lady had to climb 3 plastic legos to reach his level and talk normally without screaming like crazy…
Also, he had really short arms… He wasn’t able to see what he was doing, and which part of his hand was clean, and which wasn’t… He was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown… Poor Dino was crying hysterically and moving his small arms in an attempt to rub his hands together, but it was physically impossible.
So Red Lady thought of a solution. Instead of washing his hands like a doctor, why not put them in a water with soap and then ask someone to rub them for you…Yes, we all know that dinosaurs aren’t the most pleasurable thing to touch but maybe if you ask someone politely and you offer something in exchange, it will be possible. Mr. Dino was thrilled, he had a list of 5 people he could ask to rub his hands, including Red Lady. He offered her a bottle of sherry for each day of washing hands … Since you have to wash your hands very, very often and it is a lot of work for everyone, she asked for 2 bottles of sherry per day. Mr. Dino agreed but they didn’t shake hands to seal the deal (both of them didn’t want to wash their hands again), they just recorded the whole agreement on the recorder Lady Red had always in her purse.
So, after that, Red Lady climbed down her plastic ladder, put everything back in her plastic purse and ran to her dining room / lockdown time office, for another video meeting with her coworkers!! It starts in 2 minutes!!!
See you later my friends! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! I sincerely hope everyone is all right and you all have everything you need to survive this with a smile! Have a great day and see you soon!!

Sen. Connie N. Johnson (far right, second row) with female inmates who helped set up the Capitol Christmas tree
Sen. Connie N. Johnson Says Removing Governor from Parole Process Will Reduce Prison Overcrowding
Sen. Connie N. Johnson on Thursday testified before a House Interim Study Committee on removing the Governor from the parole process and provided information on the status of the Second Chance Act, which was recently approved with broad bipartisan support by the U.S. House.
The Second Chance Act would authorize $55 million in block grants to assist states in successful offender re-socialization, transition and return to civil society.
“Under the Second Chance Act, Oklahoma is uniquely positioned to begin addressing the problem of a perpetually over-crowded and economically unsustainable prison population,” said Johnson, D-Oklahoma City. “The Act received veto-proof passage in the U.S. House, and is expected to receive the same level of bipartisan support from the U.S. Senate.”
Each bedroom cell had a fairly large glass window looking out into the garden, with an open pane for airflow.
This window is missing its metal screen probably because the room was for a staff member. Another difference was the direction in which the door opened - outward for inmates, inward for staff.
Z Ward was a separate building at the Glenside Mental Hospital that catered for the criminally insane. The criteria for being an inmate was having committed a crime and posing a danger to others and/or themselves due to insanity. Built in 1885, it is now empty and preserved by the National Trust.
The crush of tourists make it difficult to get a good shot, but up above are rows of cells once occupied by the worst of the worst.
Walking on the walls of the Grade I Listed Lincoln Castle, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Lincoln Castle was built during the late 11th century by William the Conqueror on the site of a pre-existing Roman fortress. The castle is unusual in that it has two mottes. It is only one of two such castles in the country, the other being at Lewes in Sussex.
When William the Conqueror defeated Harold Godwinson and the English at The Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066, he continued to face resistance to his rule in the north of England. For several years, William's position was very insecure. To project his influence northwards to control the people of the Danelaw (an area traditionally under the control of Scandinavian settlers), he constructed a few major castles in the north and midlands of England. It was at this time major castles at Warwick, Nottingham, and York were built. After gaining control of York, the Conqueror turned southwards and arrived at the Roman and Viking city of Lincoln.
When William reached Lincoln (one of the country's major settlements), he found a Viking commercial and trading centre with a population of 6,000 to 8,000. The remains of the old Roman walled fortress located 60 metres (200 ft) above the countryside to the south and west, proved an ideal strategic position to construct a new castle. Lincoln represented a vital strategic crossroads of the the same routes which influenced the siting of the Roman fort: Ermine Street, Fosse Way, Valley of the River Trent, River Witham & Lincolnshire Wolds
A castle here could guard several of the main strategic routes and form part of a network of strongholds of the Norman kingdom, in Danish Mercia, roughly the area of the country that is today referred to as the East Midlands, to control the country internally. Also (in the case of the Wolds) it could form a centre from which troops could be sent to repel Scandinavian landings anywhere on the coast from the Trent to the Welland, to a large extent, by using the roads which the Romans had constructed for the same purpose.
Work on the new fortification was completed in 1068. It is probable that at first a wooden keep was constructed which was later replaced with a much stronger stone one. To the south, where the Roman wall stands on the edge of a steep slope, it was retained partially as a curtain wall and partially as a revetment. In the west, where the ground is more level, the Roman wall was buried within an earth rampart and extended upward to form the Norman castle wall.
The castle was the focus of attention during the First Battle of Lincoln which occurred on 2 February 1141, during the struggle between King Stephen and Empress Matilda over who should be monarch in England. It was held but damaged, and a new tower, called the Lucy Tower, was built.
Lincoln Castle was again the site of a siege followed by the Second Battle of Lincoln, on 20 May 1217, during the reign of King John in the First Barons' War. This was the period of political struggle which led to the signing of Magna Carta on 15 June 1215.
As in Norwich and other places, the castle was used as a secure site in which to establish a prison. At Lincoln, the prison Gaol was built in 1787 and extended in 1847. Imprisoned debtors were allowed some social contact but the regime for criminals was designed to be one of isolation, according to the separate system. Consequently, the seating in the prison chapel is designed to enclose each prisoner individually so that the preacher could see everyone, but each could see only him. By 1878 the system was discredited, and the inmates were transferred to the new jail in the eastern outskirts of Lincoln.

There was no text with this photo but I think these inmates are in isolation and have to wear these uncommon uniforms.
This is my contribution for Macro Monday's theme of "Crime"; a small fridge magnet from Alcatraz where an inmate is breaking out... HMM

Just finished Return to Arkham City last night, and I wanted to make some of the people that you see while roaming Arkham City.
From L to R:
Penguin Thug, Armored Joker Thug, and a Political Prisoner.
I've been sitting on the Knife Guy for a while now, and since TheMooseFigs recently did an amazing Arkham City Barf, I thought that I'd make the main Joker thugs from Arkham Asylum. And this is my 200th photo, so that's pretty good. Also yes. This is the MOC from three weeks ago. And sorry for tagging you, but I hope this "inspires" you to make some from A.A. :)
