Begs the question: Were the prisoners freed, or are their ghosts sentenced for eternity?

Yes, it definitely had that eerie presence you hear about, both in the prison itself and the yard. So who knows? I didn't feel that in the grounds, which were quite lovely, and still cared for and owned by seagulls... free to come and go. 🙂

I also forgot, and just noticed in this photo, that there is a prison building above the wall to the right but is completely covered in white tarp here - which I mistook as part of the sky when posting. The place was under some kind of repair while I was there. (Would be nice to have edit function).

Bleak and powerful.

Yes, that's exactly how if felt. It was the part of the prison that intrigued me most of all. I don't really know why, outside of that I kind of felt the history MORE so there than other parts of the prison... for whatever reason.

Maybe it’s the contrast with the free, open sky that can’t be reached.

Yes, that was my thought too; it's outside but still "inside." I also wondered if it might have seemed more real because I may have seen it in movies with prisoners filling the yard, so it brought it to life more.... 🙂
