new mexico state pen. gas chamber 2008
On the day of this photograph the National Guard performed exercises throughout the prison to prepare for their impending deployment to Iraq. From the corner of my eyes crossed the shadows of men and women with rifles. "Clear." shouted as they passesd from cell block to cell block. My liason, an retired prision guard, told me of the man butchered with an axe during the 1981 prison riot. They kept him alive for three days.
