Prisoner plays basketball
Prisoners play basketball in the recreation yard of the Brevard County jail in Mims Florida USA. Jail overcrowding has become a real problem, in local jails, allowing more recreation time for inmates, just to free some of them from the holding areas. This image was shot through the guards glassed in viewing room.
