Most of these pictures are of Old Atlanta Prison Farm and some unknown place.
The Atlanta Prison Farm is 290 acres. It was deserted and had been used as a police training ground, a burial ground for the zoo, and a landfill, among other things.
The 700 bed prison farm is located within Northeast Atlanta. The inmates at this facility served sentences for ordinance and traffic offenses and were routinely assigned to farming, livestock, cannery and dairy operation details. -http://www.atlantaga.gov/government/corrections/doc_history.aspx

I have no clue what the last two pics are of. I know it is somewhere in the Lakewood area of Georgia.

Those are cool pics. I had no idea that place existed. I lived in GA for a couple years but didn't explore at all. Interesting story too.
that picture of the prison bars is an eerie one
thanks blossomingtree, I didn't realize how many typos there were. I was doing about ten things at once.
Nice finds! I love wandering around and finding things that aren't on the tourist msps.
How interesting! Kinda freaky to see something like that prison farm all desserted. Thanks for posting!
