    When I went to the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, the Olympic Village was converted into the Ray Brooks Regional Correctional Facility (Jail). We had stainless steel beds, a Stainless steal sink and a Stainless Steal toilet in each room. After the games they removed all the doors and replaced them with the Prison Bars. All the windows though had bars. It was how a tiny Village in New York could afford to host the games.
