After hearing  Andrew Kzirian's (from the band  Viza ) track - Illumination it really reflected for me atmosphere of the recently visited abandoned prison, so i made this little video to illustrate it. Pictures and some more info about the place can be found here .

Slovakia Prison

Primarily built in Middle Ages then rebuilt after the partitions of Poland in the XVIII and XIX century. Formerly housed the church and Dominican monastery. In 1981 on the imposition of the martial law in Poland, some high rank Solidarity members has been imprisoned here. Very interesting object and a part-time museum at the moment, lots of artists left it's print on the walls (which sometimes looks like a real prisoners art) it adds to the atmosphere, apparently there's still some genuine graffiti in the dining room but we didn't have enough time to inspect it.

When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die... J. Cash One last building remains,  rest has been knocked down to build the supermarket Biedronka. Still worth a visit though, especially as there are few other interesting objects in the city. history: One of the most notorious prisons in Poland, the first one with increased security, partially converted from the former monastery buildings. In times of deep socialism it had it's own 'death cell' where death penalties has been executed. There's lots of sealed corridors in it's basement, probably used to join the remaining monastery buildings in the city.
