With any luck, you won't have to worry about seeing this place in person.

An [a href="vny!://www.sfbappa.org/Awards/picturestory/picstory28.ex2.html"]eye-popping set of photos[/a] taken at Pelican Bay Prison, home to some of the "worst of the worst" criminals in the world.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

You do lead us down some very interesting paths, TehBorken.  I don't always respond, but I enjoy seeing where you go in your searches.  Hats off to you for keeping things interesting!
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

 [FONT face=Verdana size=1]  Good point about the free time. One prisoner in, I think it was the Marion Illinois supermax, fashioned a key to his cell based on his memory of what the key looked like. I forget where I read this, maybe in The Fox is Crazy Too.[/FONT]

 [FONT face=Verdana size=1] [FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3]At 54, Del Raine is serving 199 years for killing two policenen in a Chicago bank robbery and a additional ten years for his escape attempts. He is regarded as a locksmithing genius able to look at a key for only a moment and then duplicate it using plastic cups, toothbrushes and other simple materials available in his cell. "A year ago, we turned up copies of the big keys used in our security doors" Clark says. "They were perfect. They were made of plastic, but they would have worked." They had DeifRaine's trademark. But they were found in another prisoner's cell so we couldn't officially pin them on Del Raine. At other times, though, keys have been found in Del Raine's possession." [/FONT][/FONT]
