Can you name this building?

How many photos will it take to figure out?

These are photos of the

Cook County Correctional Center

Chicago , Illinois

Shocker. Those crooked politicians in Chi-Town really look after their buddies...

Update: The preceding images do not, in fact, show the Cook County Correctional Center in Chicago [just a matter of time], but rather the recently-built Justice and Detention Center in Leoben, Austria, designed by architect Josef Hohensinn.

Drat! Fooled by another Urban Legend!

Just in case you ever get work confused with prison, remember:

@ PRISON
You spend most of your time in a 10X10 cell

@ WORK
You spend most of your time in a 6X6 cubicle

@ PRISON
You get three fully paid for meals a day

@ WORK
You get a break for one meal, and you have to pay for it

@ PRISON
For good behavior, you get time off

@ WORK
For good behavior, you get more work

@ PRISON
The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you

@ WORK
You must carry a security card and open all the doors yourself

@ PRISON
You can watch TV and play games

@ WORK
You could get fired for watching TV and playing games

@ PRISON
You get your own toilet

@ WORK
You have to share the toilet with people who pee on the seat

@ PRISON
They allow your family and friends to visit

@ WORK
You aren't even supposed to speak to your family

@ PRISON
You must deal with sadistic wardens

@ WORK
They are called 'managers'

@ PRISON
All expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required on your part

@ WORK
You must pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners

@ PRISON
You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out

@ WORK
You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars

Blue Bar at the Algonquin, New York, N.Y.
