Something like this should be in a museum. I never seen anything like it.

I really hope this was the kitchen and I really hope this cabinet was guarded and locked. Because---------what would you need this instruments for?

Fantastic picture. At least they removed alot of the furniture and whatever before they abandoned it; not like some other places.

Totally incredible!! How old is this building?

I can't stand it!!!! There's a place called Eastern Penniteniary near Philly that gives tours. Al Capone was there.

Totally incredible!!Would just love to walk around here! Imagine all the in-mates who were here. Can you say where this is??

I would really like to know how you find out about these places. I know of some from reading articles but some or most of these I've never heard of.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Would I ever love to get into this place; I mean just to look around, of course!

chopsuey, I don't know about moving prisoners when a jail closes, but when they do move them from one jail-state to another, I believe its usually done late at night, they don't even know their going until they wake them. They keep it quit so they don't have outside interference. I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

i know this is a silly question but when they shut a jail do they move all the cons at the same time or a few at a time, imagine if they had to wait for everyone to finish their sentences first,how mad would that be....go on imagine it....go on.......

its in abetter state then our british prisons stillopen

Hopefully, the irony of breaking into a prison is not lost on anyone.

Dayum, how I love dem curTAINS!!

Besides the pink color, I think this room is SOOOO beautiful!! The dimensions of the room, the window(s) on each side of the fireplace, the paneling, etc. It is the wood flooring that gets me!!

~~wellcome into hell jail~~
