Echo Yard, where normal prison rules no longer apply [sandiegouniontribune.com]

Echo Yard, Donovan prison's newest unit, is built around a dirt and concrete lot the size of two football fields. The prairie-flat expanse is bordered by sheer concrete walls, rising 70 feet, with ground-floor doors leading into cell blocks.

To civilian visitors, Echo looks harsh.

To Anerae “X-Raided” Brown, Echo looks wonderful.

“You have to earn your way here,” said Brown, 43, a convicted murderer who logged 20 years in other prisons before entering Echo Yard last November. “This is as close as you get to a field trip to Disneyland in here.”
