A few shots of Lansing Penitentiary
Mar 14, 2013 23:11:45 #
Drove by the penitentiary in Lansing Kansas today.
Seriously, I do have a cousin in there somewhere.
Empty guard tower. Must be on break.
Notice the foil covering the window on the far right? I think they are growing pot in there.

I'm surprised they didn't chase you and your camera away.
They get pretty serious about security and keeping someone from helping others escape.

probably not much if you were on the highway. I wouldn't suggest doing it on their property just for the reasons I stated above.

The building itself is surprisingly colorful. The fences ruit it though.

Before we moved to a new facility, I worked at the Missouri State Penitentiary and spent many an hour in towers. The tinfoil was probibly there to block the sun. The towers were bake ovens in the summer and, with space heaters in the winter, your head cooked and youe ass froze. The towers by the railroad tracks vibrated with every train. Called them "Shake and Bake". No problem with people taking pictures from the outside. I used to walk outside with a shotgun to give them something to photograph. :D
