It's a shame that American citizens are living in squalor while people wh broke our laws to get into the country are living in 5 star hotels, being given a thousand dollars a moth to buy food because those meals at $11.00 each, 3x a day isn't good enough. Free clothes, free schooling, free healthcare including taking money and resourses from the VA and throwing out existing homeless Americans from shelters and elderly from convalescent homes to house them.

The original structure was built to designs by the notable Philadelphia architect John Haviland in 1837, with additions in 1890, 1895, and 1905.

[@Purple_Pisces]

Thanks for sharing this video. Have you ever visited Columcille Megalith Park? I woud love to see you do a video of it.

That step fallen apart... you just about made. My heart drop. I know you're careful, but I'm older than you, so please be careful.

[@rahrahrobbbieee]

Haviland was an established prison architect at the time who was most notable for Eastern State Penitentiary, among other prison designs that emphasized prisoner reform over brutal punishment.

[@user-nu4lo5li1c]

A good place to go missing. I'd pay a bit more respect to the occupants you never know what they have been through.

​​@@ian3580thank you for saying that. I went thru a really bad time financially and was homeless for about 2 years. even tho I lived in the woods in a tent I made sure I showered daily and wore clean clothes. I was a female living alone and I never once worried about being attacked by another homeless person. everyone pretty much just wanted to exist peacefully. it was only non homeless people that ever tried to assault/ r*pe me. pretty messed up

Honestly, with the amount of structures in the USA in this condition, I'm surprised counties/states don't offer the land for free to anyone who can prove they have funds to demolish the old buildings, then hold them under contract to do so or the land goes to the next applicant. Nobody wants to buy land AND have to demo... But free land if you demo? Maybe we'd have less disgusting wastes of land.

You just know people died there. Ive been to jail & known people that got out of jail & prison etc a federal detaining center was within or one of our county jails was federal so there was alot of people that were arrested from immigration it was incredibly sad, just waiting months sometimes years to be deported. All the way in central but northern west MN a couple hours away from the twin cities that are usually just called the cities, usually thats central no for some reason idk. But these people were from all over the US. From florida, arizona, Nevada, California, Missouri, ohio, kansas. I had no idea before my experiences that it was like that. But people died in there, people died in regular city jails as well it happens all the time but id think Especially back then

You show the old cell and say "It is so small". I found one picture of Julian Assange in his cell in Britain and it looks about the same size. "Here at Belmarsh maximum security prison in southeast London, his abode since April 11, 2019, he has not seen the sun. Warders confine him to a cell for 23 out of every 24 hours. His single hour of recreation takes place within four walls, under supervision." -- The Nation. If Assange is extradited to the US, "The 49-year-old WikiLeaks founder would be detained in a cell of 50ft2 or less - the size of a parking space - equipped with a shelf and a mat for sleeping, a small metal toilet and sink in the prison’s “X block”. -- Computer World. He would be confined to it 22-23 hours per day. All that for publishing true accounts.

As a kid growing up in rural UK boarding school we used to illegally visit all kinds of abandoned factories and ancient churches, war shelters and generally amazing untouched abandoned places... This was predigital and pre smartphone camera as well as pre-internet... we used to regularly take hard hats with us and put them on when we were invariably caught... we would usually get off scott free because we would say we were trying to be safe and not cause damage... on occasion however we were taken back to school in a police car😮 It was the day of the school photo and I remember every time I look at that picture I think the trouble I knew I was in.
