Room with a View..

Captured this barred window while on vacation at Devils island, the notorious island prison that France sent its hardened criminals. As I stood within the remains of the cell I could not help but think of the men that had also stood on the very ground beneath my feet staring out this same “window” with no hope of ever having freedoms that I enjoy. Thanks to new thinking, prisons such as Devils island are becoming relics only to be toured and recorded in images.
