Random Thought

When did the architecture for new schools and the architecture for prisons become so eerily similar?

Click here, then click on DAI Bureau and Institution Links, then click on Stanley Correctional for an official photo of a prison.

Now compare that to this photo of a high school.



All it needs is a fence around it with razor wire on top.

Your thoughts?

UGH! Reminds me of my high school.

We have a joke here where I live about the three high schools .... James Wood (where I attended) is the "prison on the hill", while Sherando is "the mall" and Handley is "the museum."
