Here is another photo from my recent exploration of the abandoned prison in central Pennsylvania.  The SCI Cresson campus is interesting for a number of reasons.  This photo isn’t the typical prison photo, if there is such a thing.  But I liked this perspective.

State Correctional Institution

I haven’t posted a photo from this spot recently.  This is from the abandoned prison outside of Pittsburgh.  Blair and I were given official access to explore and photograph it.  This was one of many long boring (but interesting) hallways inside the facility.

By the way, I met a legend in the Pittsburgh Photography circles tonight. It was nice meeting JP Diroll ( @jpdirollphotography ). You can see his work on this website (http://jpdirollphotography.com) and all his social media channels.

I hope everyone is having a great Thursday night. 

We had a great time exploring this abandoned state prison last weekend.  Even though it’s abandoned, it isn’t in bad shape.  So it doesn’t look like most of the abandoned building photos I share with you.  Regardless, it was fun….honestly how often do you get to explore a prison?  It doesn’t happen often.  I’ve explored Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly, Alcatraz in San Francisco, and Moundsville Penitentiary in West Virginia.  All of those were unique in their own way.

Solitary Confinement

Blair and I had a great morning in prison today.  We got an opportunity to explore and photograph an abandoned Pennsylvania prison.  They’re getting ready to convert the site into a veteran’s center.  I am thankful to Bob for thinking about us and getting us access.  Good times…..
