CHILLING images have revealed the inside\u00a0<\/strong>of a notorious prison featured in a Hollywood film and Johnny Cash's iconic performance.<\/p>\n

The once-bustling Tennessee State Penitentiary now sits abandoned near Nashville, with its eerie execution chambers and crumbling cells.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

The prison, which was built in 1898, has been abandoned since its closure in 1992.<\/p>\n

But almost three decades later, the hellish jail was torn apart after a\u00a0tornado ripped through Tennessee in 2020.<\/p>\n

A 40-yard section of a stone wall and several power poles were knocked down. <\/p>\n

Piles of brick walls filled the prison\u2019s courtyard but no people were wounded, CNN reported.<\/p>\n

Daring photographer Jeff Hagerman decided to explored the ravaged prison, revealing the harrowing inside of Tennessee State Penitentiary. <\/p>\n

The spooky snaps show the prison\u2019s forgotten hospital and dental equipment used in criminals decades ago.<\/p>\n

Another picture shows\u00a0a warehouse full of the inmates\u2019 discarded work overalls and cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n

The notorious prison was the scene of acclaimed films, including Stephen King's inspired\u00a0The Green Mile, The Last Castle and Walk the Line.<\/p>\n

Singer Johnny Cash\u00a0also performed for inmates in December 1968, and recorded a live album called A Concert: Behind Prison Walls in 1976.<\/p>\n

Today the prison can be used only for exterior shots because of its condition.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0parts of the facility are still used by the Department of Correction for storage and as a training site for its Strike Force unit.<\/p>\n

The prison's\u00a0most infamous inmate was killer James Earl\u00a0Ray – convicted in\u00a0the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis.<\/p>\n

In a 1973 television interview,\u00a0Ray complained of leading a "cave dweller's existence" in solitary confinement at the prison.<\/p>\n

He claimed that\u00a0Tennessee prison officials told him he would be kept in solitary confinement until he abandoned efforts to obtain a new trial.<\/p>\n

In Cuba, haunting images revealed the inside of the notorious prison where Fidel Castro was jailed.<\/p>\n

The feared Presidio Modelo, located in Isla de la Juventud (Isle of Youth), fell into disrepair after riots more than five decades ago.<\/p>\n

In 1953,\u00a0Castro\u00a0spent two years there, along with his brother Raul, imprisoned by the regime of Fulgencio Batista after a leading a failed attack on the Moncada Barracks.<\/p>\n

The same prison then hosted enemies of the new regime and developed a reputation for overcrowding and harsh treatment,\u00a0AtlasObscura.com\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

Presidio Modelo's architecture is heavily inspired by the Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill,\u00a0Illinois.<\/p>\n

Able to house up to 5,000 inmates, the Cuban hell jail has five buildings in a panopticon design.<\/p>\n
