Adventures in the State Prison

This location has always been on my bucket list. I rolled into Nashville last Thursday. The hotel I was staying at was horrible and I woke up at 4:30am. Unable to fall back asleep I headed to the target.



All the frustration fell away as adrenaline kicked in. The sun was coming up and I'd have to move fast.



The main yard entry point I was informed about was closed off shut. Undeterred I found another entry. Thankfully no one spotted me.



There wasn't much left inside on any of the floors of the administration building.



But there were a few notable points of interest.



The inside was absolutely gorgeous.

By this point I heard traffic outside and voices. Prisoners from the local area were being trucked in to manage the grounds. It was time to leave. Unfortunate that I could not see the rest, yes, but still quite satisfying to see what I could.

glad you were able to make it in, but sounds like you had a bit of a close call.

Glad you made in as well and equally that you made it out uninterrupted. Didn't have time for traditional exploring and gave Music City a call. They no longer have authority to grant permission for filming - movies, photography, etc. and really stepped up their security. Nice work, Ken.

Although I don't much care for the lack of discretion about location, your photos are absolutely stunning. Nice work!

Your not the only one with that location on a bucket list. Great shot of the cells.

Yes. I was spotted and spoke briefly with an official who asked what I was doing. Our conversation was friendly. He advised me to leave and I complied accordingly.

We had a problem last year too, but we got out before anyone saw us.

Good stuff! It's a shame you didn't have a chance to explore more, but at least you made it out safe. That's the important part.

MAGNIFICENT.

Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?
