These are the ruins of the main goal built by convicts and used between 1825 and 1855. A place where harsh discipline and cruel treatment was the rule. One documented case concerns a convict by the name of Michael Burns who suffered a total of 2210 lashes and almost two years in confinement, much of it in solitary, three months of that in total darkness, and at least six months of those two years on a diet of bread and water only.

Well composed with the wall jutting in from the left, Frank. Wow, if these wall could talk; the stories they could tell.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Great composition Frank and a very sad story that unfortunately still happens in some parts of our world.

Boy, what a commentary. Sure shows the depravity of man's heart. Thank heavens we have a God of mercy. Good post.

Actually, it looks like a nice place now - nicer than our jails over here from what I have seen in movies and Tv. Good shot Frank - looks very pleasant now. Michael Burns must have done something very, very bad.

Seems a bit over-exposed, A levels or curves adjustment could clear things up. Good composition of the scene and nice depth in the photo.
