No. 11.

No. 10.

Here’s a shot of the place, to keep people guessing:

Yes, I made it small on purpose.

Do criminals live there? I think I see a wall!

Yes. 9 left.

Is the place in question located in a state which borders the Atlantic Ocean?

Is it Folsom State Prison?

Cultural significance being that legendary country singer Johnny Cash spent some time there?

I hear the train a comin’
It’s rollin’ ‘round the bend,
And I ain’t seen the sunshine,
Since, I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin’ on,
But that train keeps a-rollin’,
On down to San Antone.*

Also, the second oldest prisn in California…

Yes it is! Woohoo!

Feel free to take my turn… I’m in the middle of packing and moving, so my regular ‘htmf time’ is a little cramped.

You said “any” – that’s why I bolded it. There are training and learning programs.
