Remarkable video guys. I live in PA, and I remember this prison being the home of William Bradfield, one of the most infamous and evil murderers in PA history, who was responsible for the deaths of Susan Reinert and her two beautiful children. The way you matched up the old prison tour video, with where you were filming today, was genius, and without it, would be nowhere near as interesting or informative of a video. A lot of bad people were at this prison. I hope a good number of those that were set free from there, have turned their lives around and became productive Americans.

Wild place. You can’t understand unless you did time there. The side with the small blocks and paintings on the wall is the new side. Mental health units, therapeutic community and writ. The real action was on the old side. A,B,C,D block. E block was intake. The long blocks where the guy is talking about the phones. Honestly that place saved my life. I realized I didn’t want to be one of the lifers or the guy with a 30-60 years. I’m sober, off parole, successful and couldn’t be happier. I’m a civilian again. No longer a criminal. A direct result of doing time at Graterford. I was there for 42 months. Got out 2019. I left from SCI somerset. Got transferred when they were getting ready to close Graterford. Some of the dudes in this video were still there when I left. Free the real, keep the Chomos rapists and rats.

[@river_acheron]

We learned in psychology class that it is NOT that simple. People are not born evil, or decide to do evil things all on their own. There are social factors that need to be addressed. And lets be honest, draconian sentences for basically victimless crimes like back when weed was still illegal (its legal in my state now), some states you could get YEARS for possession! I blame the government for that. Not the so-called "criminal". We cannot just accept that it's the persons own fault and that bad people simply do bad things. That is a very simplistic way of thinking and its not even true. We have to discover WHY. And its not just society. Sometimes there are unaddressed neurological conditions that go undiagnosed. It's a very complicated topic.

It's likely that "the national guard watches over it, don't go there" was something that the parents in your community told their kids so they would stay away because exploring abandoned properties in general can be dangerous, then those kids grew up and became adults that still think the national guard watches over it.

Great video!! The old prison is exactly what prisons should be - a gloomy, cold, hard, uncomfortable, scary, imposing, concrete and steel, hell that no person would want to be. It should invoke the darkest of fears. It is where you go when you make the decision to victimize others. No mercy, no comfort. If you have ever been victimized or had someone close victimized you will want the perpetrator to have everything that they have ever found comforting or pleasant removed from their lives. The perpetrator should lose everything. If prisons are not painful and horrific they are considered a joke. The experience should make the hardest of the hard beg for forgiveness every minute of every day. If ever released, the experience should cause them to be forever terrified of going back and cause to tell all others that no crime is worth committing.
