It's always a dark day....

It's always a dark day....
A shot of the administration building at the former Joliet Correctional Center in Illinois. The prison's unique architecture was drawn up by WW Boyington,designer of Chicago's famed Water Tower.It was built by contractors using prison labor in 1858. It closed in 2002. Sadly this building cannot be entered anymore due to extreme interior collapse....
