Seriously. Astounding that some engineering genius was smart enough to build this but not smart enough to realize that it was dumb.
Even putting aside the unethicalness of it being a prison in 1800s America (so presumably very shitty) the fact that it's so incredibly pointlessly complex is just... why?
It's a great of example being "so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
similar idea from americans
what an incredibly stupid idea. The only thing more stupid than coming up with the idea is actually building it
It's a cool engineering feat that could have been used for any number of things that wasn't a prison. Like those rotating restaurants or something.

weird i was just watching this guy for the first time an hour ago. hiking across an ancient tidal path called the broomway which was very fascinating.
