Photo 43-MLO-28

Comments

Grafton State Farm, an honors prison facility. West side of Rt 83 south of Capel Rd, Grafton. The ball field appears un-fenced. In later years it was a general exercise area with high fences. Inmates used to stand in line on a marked path about 10 feet back and watch the cars drive by. Note the RR track in the background. I bet many an inmate dreamed of jumping on a slow freight!

Still there today but it has not been an honor farm for awhile. Listed as North Coast Corrections Treatment.
