(See links) Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary last named Brushy Mountain Correctional Complex (also called Brushy) was a large maximum-security prison in the town of Petros in Morgan County, Tennessee, operated by the Tennessee Department of Correction. It was established in 1896 and operated until 2009.
Most Tennesseans have heard of Brushy Mountain Prison, the infamous maximum security penitentiary where the Volunteer State’s most hardened criminals were housed.
Hidden in the mountains of east Tennessee, just outside the hamlet of Petros lies the now closed Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, once a key part of the Tennessee penal system. It doesn’t have the fame of Alcatraz or other well known prisons but it was just as important and mysterious. It was constructed by inmates from stone quarried on site and looks like a castle, it must have been something to build their own prison. From above one can see it is shaped like a cross which illustrates the importance of religion to the people of the area. It’s history is long and complicated, it is one of the oldest penitentiaries in the US.
Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary - Roadside America
The prison is nearly encircled by rugged wooded terrain in a remote section of the Cumberland Plateau, adjacent to Frozen Head State Park and Natural Area. Escape attempts were infrequent and almost always unsuccessful. Perhaps the best-known escape attempt occurred on June 10, 1977, when James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., escaped with six other inmates by climbing over a fence. Ray was captured less than 58 hours later in rugged mountain terrain 81⁄2 miles from the prison.
Tour Brushy. Brushy Mountain was the last place you wanted to find yourself – right in the middle of Tennessee’s first maximum-security prison holding the state’s most violent murderers, robbers and rapists for over a century. With some sentences of 200 years or more, most of the men who walked through its gates would never be walking out. Come see for yourself just what life was like for lost souls at the End of the Line.

De poelkikker is de kleinste van de drie groene kikkers. Hij is op de rug grasgroen tot bruin van kleur (soms met donkere vlekken). Vaak heeft hij een lichte lengtestreep op de rug en een witte buik die hooguit zwak gevlekt is. Hij heeft relatief korte achterpoten. En hij wordt tot maximaal 8 cm groot. Het belangrijkste kenmerk is de grote harde halvemaanvormige graafknobbel, die symmetrisch is. Zie hiervoor de Herkenningskaart groene kikkers. Mannetjes hebben witte kwaakblazen en krijgen, in de paartijd, een ongevlekte geelgroene kleur met een goudgele iris.
Herkenning is alleen mogelijk na vangst en bestudering van de hierboven beschreven kenmerken, of wanneer de mannetjes duidelijk roepen. Maar zelfs na vangt is het soms niet mogelijk om tot soortdeterminatie te komen. Bij twijfel, en zichtwaarnemingen, altijd "groene kikker onbepaald" (Pelophylax spec.) aanhouden. Eieren, larven en juvenielen zijn sowieso niet tot op soort te determineren en kunnen als "groene kikker onbepaald" worden aangemerkt.

Situated at a distance of 22 km from Badami and 478 km from Bangalore is one of the most celebrated tourist centres of Karnataka. According to inscriptions, Pattadakal was a progressive city even prior to the rule of the Badami Chalukyas and called Pattada Kisuvolal (Red Town). It was the headquarters of the administrative unit of Kisukadu. Pattadakal saw the Badami Chalukyan art in full bloom. This temple complex is on the banks of the Ghataprabha River and offers enchanting natural surroundings. A large number of stone weapons found along the river bank and the presence of huge stone dolmens nearby are clear proofs of earlier inhabitation here in the pre-historic period. The complex is surrounded by high walls and has two entrances. The world-famous geographer Ptolemy (150 AD) has documented the town as 'Petri gal'.
This autumn has been really strange both socially, and weather-wise. Therefor it's complex. Also this is my housing complex; taken from my window.
