... to bring in the tourists!

A terrible prison where peolle suffered for decades,  often until their sad lonely deaths,  has been turned into a tourist attraction.

Maybe they could add a death penalty hall where tourists could pay to pull the lever and drop a manniquen thru a gallows trapdoor or pull the switch to make a prop electric chair spark while an animated manniquen twitches.

Why anyone would want to pay  t visit a place of such utter misery and lost lives is foreign to me.

In the book Silence of The Lambs, the FBI were going to send Dr Hannibal Lecter there.  Smile

Alcatraz & the Tower of London's dungeon are also tourist attractions...

Been to San Francisco, but never got to Alcatraz. On the other hand, though it has been awhile, every time I get to London, I make it a point to visit the Tower. It's a heck of a place. It is over 900 years old, and in that time, it has been . . .

an armory -- a fortress -- a garrison -- home of the Crown Jewels, which he has seen -- a place of execution, though prior to World War II, only 7 people were executed within the Tower, outside of the Tower over 112 people, most of them prisoners within the Tower, were executed between 1381 and 1747, on Tower Hill  -- a prison -- a public records office -- a residence -- a Royal Mint -- a zoo -- and one of the most haunted places within the U.K.

 And (IMHO) well worth seeing if you ever get to London (U.K.)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
