I got tired of my cases and screen protectors. I figured I'd try rolling with my iPhone "naked" and see how it holds up. They have done of lot of work to beef them up (both the case and the glass), so we shall see…

We enjoyed a yummy Brazilian meal on the way home from prison.
I was satisfied to take a picture of these pretty desserts. We abstained, but still enjoyed a great meal!
Taking pictures a half mile away
The iPhone has come a long way in being able to replace a "real" camera. Check out the detail in the top of the state building from almost a half mile away. I can even make out a bird circling the antenna. The left pic is what I took. The middle shows there I was standing when I snapped it, and the right shows using Google Maps to measure the distance.
Julie gives scale to this massive structure!
You can see her off in the distance on the ground floor. :)

The nicer cell block
The second cell block was a little newer and considered the Hilton by comparison. Inmates with good behavior could eventually move there.
I really enjoyed the pretty architecture
Imagine being a guard and having to climb the tight spiral staircase for six floors in an emergency!?
A thousand or so inmates per side…
Two sides per cell bock, two cell bocks…. That's a lot of cells! At times they were overload by almost 2x too!

Tallest free-standing iron cell blocks in the world…
Not sure those are great bragging rights, but it sure made for a cool view six floor down!!
From the chapel, we headed out to the cell blocks
Thick iron doors, heavy iron bars. Quite the cheery place…
The chapel!
Wow, this was cool looking. In just good enough shape to imagine what it once looked like, yet enough dilapidation to add to the eeriness of the scene…
