Kingston Pen – III
As promised, the last of my photo essays on the Kingston Penitentiary. I do have other pictures, but it is time to move on. If I was less lazy I would caption these for you. Most were take in the building that housed the school and the various workshops. You can probably figure out those […]
Kingston Pen – I
For the next few days I’m going to give you a glimpse of what we saw when we toured Kingston Penitentiary last summer. It is a massive complex, imposing both inside and out. I don’t think the pictures can really convey the experience, but if you can’t get tickets to see the place yourself, I […]
