Yea, ok, so it looks nothing like Folsom Prison, and is obviously a ruined castle not a prison at all but i'm in Wales not California dammit!! Perhaps try and imagine the song as sung by 13th-century minstrels with lutes.
This is the south-east tower of Caerphilly Castle. Built around 1270 it was actually used as a prison a few hundred years later around the time of the English Civil War so i'm not completely DNMC.
Plus, it's a little known fact that Folsom is actually twinned with the small Welsh town of Caerphilly and Johnny Cash used to holiday there regularly with June in the 1950s where they met Tom Jones. This did end quite badly though as June was quite smitten with the Welsh lothario. I believe she wrote the song, 'Ring Of Fire' about the slightly uncomfortable picnics the three of them used to have in the Welsh hills.

Ah, very pleased with this comment from Emi. I haven't seen this lovely animation for years and hedgehogs have been following me around in the fog a lot lately. A lovely serendipity.

Looks like Caerphilly Castle, so I'm guessing this is Clive's. I love the dark tones, the sheer massiveness of the structure, the tree, and the interesting sky. The leaning tower adds nicely to the feeling of melancholy. Lovely.
I actually played that on YouTube the other day after this challenge was announced. You can't go wrong with Johnny Cash. This looks like someplace in England, but it'll do. Love the edit. Nice one. 7
