I present a series of walls...so very different in meaning depending on you point of view...on this side or that side of the walls.

Brusy Mountain Prison was the first prison in the state of Tennessee, USA. Convicts had been used for coal mining, costing the local miners. The miners revolt led to the establishmen of a prison system. This facility is deep in the hills, surrounded on 3 sides by difficult and steep terrain.

James Earl Ray, convicted assassin of Martin Luther King, Jr. met his fate here. Dying of liver failure in 1998, Mr. Ray had recanted his confession to the murder soon after being incarcerated.

I was behind these wall a few times years ago. Then, my reason was not crime. Today, the worst offenders are in Brushy.  I could not and would not go in now.
