-sighs- Cannable Corpse one of the first Death metal bands I fell in love with, after of course I watched All of the Anthony Hopkins movies. I wonder what it would be like to meet a cannable.

Rubber Ducky you're the one -squeak squeak- You Make Bathtime So Much fun.....
Wow that was comepletly random. I remember Ernie singing that.

Fantastic photo... It makes me feel like I've just been comitted and fastly being pushed through the hallways into a cell. I like it!

the soap dispencer is actualy a conk. back then used for bug spray and some what used for air freshner. More comonly used for air freshner now.. I have that same old one in our log cabin its from the 50's. Cool pic motts

That clock is correct twice a day. :-)

It was for rapid loading and unloading of soap dispenser deliveries for the pink sinks. :-)

I'm a Detention Officer for Anne Arundel County, and seeing these old abandoned places makes my skin crawl. I couldn't imagine working in an environment like that, crowded to almost twice its capacity. On the main page you said this place had a capacity of ~3000 but held over 5000 in 1970s, we only have 700 right now and we're pretty close to capacity. Crazy difference between state and county level prisons.

as much as it is rotting what would u rather have an arsenal or a real castle ruin in your own backyard, i would prefer if they stabilizid it and keep it in its current state

when ever i look at this buildin i fanisize about there being some kind of staircase still intact to climb 2 th top of the corner turret hopefully spiral

the back wall does not look all that great, that turret will hopefully last

when my brother had a sailboat we would go as close to the island as we could and 1 nite we anchored right of its shores with the moon light shining right through the castle making it look lk an appirition

Abundant thanks to you, Ann and Jerry, for taking the time to write such a fabulous post. Your memories of Bennett are fascinating and I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoyed reading about your time at Bennett. I am a native of Millbrook, and although I no longer live in the area, I continue to love this place with the same intense passion I did as a child. Although I didn't attend Bennett, my mother worked there as a hostess in the dining room from the late 60's thru mid 70's, thus there's a good chance she was one of those carefully starched, white-gloved ladies who served you your lunch! I've picked her brain to bits and pieces in quest of her memories of Bennett and I thank you for yours. A heartwretching shame indeed that this place wasn't treasured as well as it's been in our thoughts.

I dunno, I could have had the entire world watching me and I wouldn't have even noticed while birthing my son. My mind was elsewhere...

doea it look like its something off the bloody ring

I worked at Rocky Point for 4 yrs. I was the first female ride supervisor in the parks history. Frank, do you remember me? I'm in FL now, but really miss RP, it was the best job I've ever had!!
