Gate leading to prison. Because it is a street view rather than a picture, you can also go through the map.


A building in a flat shop looking to the front is a prison, and a high tower on the left is a monitoring tower. On some pages, YouTube's movies are embedded and you can listen to the comments by the parties.


Finally, I will go to prison.
