I tend to side with Peter in this case.

The scene is the main kitchen, separated from the barracks-style  
eating area with heavy gates (I'm shooting through the bars of the  
gate in this photo, I have one photo of the gates...). Most of the  
tables and cooking implements/etc are gone, but to the right just  
outside the field of view was still one of the large cookpots. I  
believe the central structure was where the chief cooks desk and  
administrative work was done, and a guard was posted there at all  
times when the facility was not under lock-down hours. There once  
were work tables, stoves and ovens lining most of the periphery of  
the room, I understand.

Moving shadows in your head or not, there are certainly many lost  
ghosts that live within the walls of that prison... !!

There are more to come in this collection.
