I started my career as an officer there 35 years ago. It was a great experience. Thank you and job well done.

Execution in PA. means three meals a day, free medical, exercise time, library, gym, and no chance of death.

It’s abandoned… If there’s electricity… RUN

where is this???

Another youtuber found a cat in the same daycare

Hochul was chosen by Cuomo because she was / is the dumbest person in the room every time she enters it. Zero threat to anyone as a number two. Sadly she is continuing to destroy New York.

I WAS ALWAYS AT THE HANDICAPPED VISITING ROOM. GRATERFORD

25 years going to SCI graterford prison and then SCI PHOENIX.

Make this video mandatory starting in the 7th grade! This is your life in prison. Too bad you couldn't get a taste of the food. Then there's the gangs. Mental illness. Bad guards. It's hell. Sadly, a way of life for those who "think" they're smarter than everyone else. Yet, there's good in prison. People who decided to grow up and face reality and seek a new life. Older lifers were generally the best inmates. They accepted prison as their home and wanted home to be quiet and tranquil. The gang bangers are the worst. Short timers with attitudes. Hopefully the juvenile lifers program is working without those being released committing more crimes after being paroled. I worked 14 years in a Pa. state medium security prison. This video is the real deal. "Don't learn the hard way."

Gillies cousin Wallo did time here

I worked on a film using the building next door a few years back. I thought I'd wander about and explore the building while working there but to my surprise it was relatively active and swarming with police using the abandoned offices and doing K-9 training in this abandoned section. Needless to say, I ended up not exploring much. If you're unlucky, you could go here on a day they are training or time it wrong when someone needs to grab a forgotten item out of an office.

They can always make it a homeless shelter out of it.

I grew up 3 miles from this place. The prison's farmland backed up to the elementary school property. Every time a prisoner escaped the steam whistle would blow. Although the escapee never stayed in the area.

I have a couple friends who are or have done time on the inside of jail and they all say the same things and that jails fucking shit and they don't blame anyone but themselves for their time in prison. If you look at these things and think jails cool or something to aspire too then your a fucking moron.

...I saw ZERO padded cells. 🤨

It's crazy this video came up on my feed. I walked the halls of that prison for 7 years. I was in there from 1989 to 1996.Went in when I was 18 and got out when I was 25. I promised myself I would never go back to prison again. I turned my life around and I kept my promise to myself. I'm 53 now with a wonderful family, good job, and a good life, and I'm thankful everyday that that's just a memory now!!

I cant believe the amount of abandoned prisons the amount of wasted tax dollars is absolutely insane maybe if that money was spent on education and housing getting people out of bad situations we would have less people incarcerated and no abandoned tax dollars

Scheiß Cameraführung !

Awesome video ! I didn't know that a prison that big could be abandoned ! Can you send us a message on Instagram @gabietcoco I would like to ask you something !

When I was 12 .I went to see my brother in that jail. He's long gone he was let out and turned to drugs years ago. and I am in my 60s

Original backroom found footage

Wow I think I realize a family and the daughter in the photos, but a couple have passed so I don't wanna forward this to them if it isn't them. This is upstate right? Can you tell me the town?

The only good thing about this place was the heat in the winter from a-e block. E/F had forced ventilation

I didn't know it was closed. Where did they take the guys that were still there? My ex boyfriend went in when he was prob like 17-18 ish. He got 20-life i believe. I visited him once i think then i got married. I still think of him, he was a great guy. I still wonder if he was guilty, i think he took the charge for the little girls mom, he wanted to protect her & that was how he was. It was the murder of a 4 year old girl, broke my heart!!! 😭

This place is legitimately haunted....i spent 9 months here...many spirits here

Smh... i did a year here at Graterford--sh*t was different!

One of my family members was serving 7 life sentences in there until he got moved to a new prison in another state.

I'm from the area, I had no idea it was closed

Joseph lee davis or Burnham not sure he was incarcerated he when i was much younger he passed away few years ago i fogave his absence after i herd the shit he went through and saw here and cresson

Did 6 in graterford

I’ve tried to get in there at night for paranormal investigations

That place is 30 minutes north of me I think it was sold to a developer for housing from what I’ve heard

Spent 12 years there. 1978 to 1981.

I've been there 4 times actually

I onow a death row in nmate George Banks but he went nuts they let her m off

I went through here in 2007 when I was 18-19

Thanks for keeping those people away from the rest of us.

I gagged at the ballpit. Why would you go in there. 😭 Please, bro, you might a random ass disease now.

Interesting I never knew this was abandoned

My grandfather would take my father and uncle there to get their haircuts as children… that was in the 50’s.

I bet the taxpayers loved him.

Haunting, absoluitly hanting. The passage of time that has lead to the dealpidation of the prison inconjuction with the prisoner(s) speaking of hope and deapair really makes it hit. The editing is remarkable. Very well done.

It is so nice that the only paint you see on the walls or the paint that was put on there when they built the place that is so nice🎉

I would just like to say thank you for showing a video that doesn't have disgusting graffiti all over it and the place broke up or anything it's actually pretty nice shape it looks like they just left of the week ago thank you again for showing us such a clean video without all that nasty graffiti and people breaking stuff and stuff like that thank you for showing us a beautiful a place that actually looks original thank you

If you got in there legally, why you wearing ghillie suits?
