A photo essay on one of America's most "secure" prisons. Read more on my photo blog
View - very small town America. Post breakfast of cold bagels, cream cheese and coffee in the lobby, we sped to the supermax prison a few minutes away from the town, surrounded by thousands of yards of razor wire, past fall trees blazing brilliant under a cloudy sky, four fast food restaurants, two gas stations, a gigantic holocaustic smokestack that dominated the horizon, numerous overweight people and houses that looked the same in weather that made me huddle in my new and inadequate Gap coat, 49.99 on sale with a gift voucher for 5 bucks off any other coat I might deign to purchase within the month of November.
