Eastern State Penitentiary-Philadelphia Pennsylvania
The Mad Chair - called so due to the fact many inmates had gone mad before the punishment was over was another idea taken from mental institutions. The inmate would be chained and strapped into a chair so tightly they would be unable to move even a muscle. The duration of this punishment varied from a few hours to a few days. Their bodies would become sore and swollen from lack of circulation, making them unable to walk or move for hours (even days) after being placed back in their cell.
When I was contemplating this shot I really wanted to capture the dark,and eerie mood that permeated from this location. As I took the shot, I saw a black shadow dart to the right out of sight.
