Phillipe, that mug is actually part of a small collection I gathered while
working on a case 15 years ago; it is from the Employees' Gift shop at a
federal penitentiary in North Carolina.  I have mugs and sweatshirts from
many prisons across America.  My personal favorite is from the old
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, although I have memories of many,
including the SuperMax in Colorado where a group of us hid out in a
conference room when a stabbing took place in the yard.

Needless to say the guards frowned on any photography, interior or
exterior, and were prepared to discourage it by any means necessary.
