Juvenile Detention Center
Abandoned for over a decade, some of Detroit's most violet youth offenders served their time here.
Psychiatric wings for the mentally ill inmates made the prison look and feel more like an asylum than a correctional center.
I shot here several times over the course of a few years, including multiple solo trips during the start of the Pandemic.
The final days provided even more great photographs.
Now demolished,
I'm sad to see this one go...
