"WHAT USED TO BE"
MANSFIELD REFORMATORY
MANSFIELD, OH. USA

We've all seen and love "The Shawshank Redemption." Well, The Mansfield Reformatory is probably better known as Shawshank Prison and was where the film.was shot.

This is a part of the warden's residence, I believe it was the living room and, like much of the facility, is in a glorious state of decay, making it a really fun coma e to photograph.

Shooting old prisons is a terrific and often creepy experience.

Wonderfully framed interior!
The way the light accentuates the patterns in the floor is really special.

Thank you. Shooting that day was a challenge. The light was difficult but the heat was almost unbearable.
