Our own Kimchi, recently visited Ione California, and took a drive around the "Mule Creek State Prison" Area... where Tex is incarcerated. I should have it up tomorrow sometime. In the meanwhile, she sent this cool still-shot, of the "Mule Creek State Prison" sign, which is out front. Thanks Kimchi!!! You ROCK!!!!
