Radical Combination

Meaning

Primary

Cave In

Mnemonic

This building was a former prison until the cave in. You see, prisons aren't built very carefully, they just try to get them done fast enough to stuff people in there. So while you can tell this was once a building, it definitely isn't a prison anymore, since the whole thing caved in.
