CA Prisons: Part 2

As we continue the search for the elusive closed, film-friendly prison, Emily and I reach out of Southern California and into the Central Valley…

On a trip South from the Bay Area, Emily and I stop to tour the Fresno Tenth Street Juvenile Facility.  Closed about five years ago, [for inhumane treatment violations!] it doubled well as a prison. Awesomely scary.

But five years of abandonment and flocks of dedicated pigeons will leave a building in pretty gnarly shape, so we were very glad to be wearing closed-toed shoes!

Verdict:  Some interesting layouts. Scary first floor and yards.  Far away.
