Correcting Sentence (?) + Adding photo of prison
[edit]There are two things here that I am unsure of, which is why I am posting this in hopes that somebody else can contribute (English is not my daily language and I have never added a photo here). When I searched for this prison, I both found this article and found the prison shown with a Google Aerial Photo on Wikimapia. I immediately thought that it would have been great to take a screendump of it to use for this article. As I could see, the source of the photo there, is Google Maps. Then I looked up at Google if it is legal to do so (according to Google Maps' licencing of their photos). Obviously it IS OK to do so, but the owners of the copyright, Google, have to be credited. That it is legal, can be read in their FAQ on this here: http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html. If you are able to take a screen dump of the part of the image that contains the prison, could you please do that and add the photo?
Also, there was a sentence in the article that really sounds odd to me, but since I'm not a native from an English-speaking country, I realize that I may not understand why a certain word is added, so maybe it should be like it is, even if I would think it needs correction... The text is the exact same text which is listed on Wikimapia, which site had it first, I do not know though. Part of the sentence says: "Prisoners are kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours of each day out and...". What I think sounds odd, is the adding of the word "out". Is it normal to say "...for 23 hours of each day out"? Or is the word "out" misplaced, hence should be removed? If it should, please make the correction.
Thanks a lot! :)

Merge proposal
[edit]C Max is part of the complex formerly known as Pretoria Central Prison, since renamed as Kgosi Mampuru II Management Area. It took me quite a while to get it all worked out, but I have documented what I found in both articles. Seeing that the other divisions are unlikely to ever be notable enough to warrant their own articles, and there's not much to say on this supermax facility, which is not a stand-alone prison, I am proposing a merge with Pretoria Central, which I will later propose to rename with its new name. Thoughts, anyone? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
