Grafton Prison Blues

Grafton Correctional

Passed this old abandoned state work farm a few times a week in my travels. They are tearing it down building by building so I had to grab a photo before it's gone like the inmates who stayed here. In the day, the inmates would wave at me as they smoked and Coked outside on the benches by the fence line that was worn to a dirt path around these fences. Actually, this was probably not a bad place to be considering you worked outside, tended to cattle and paid your debt via sweat equity and time.

Not so much if you have better things to do with your life. Which admittedly not all of the inmates (realised that they) had. In that light, the setting sun and bare tree branches lend the appropriate tone of melancholy to it.
