i visited here with my wife 5 years ago toured it and it was nice the day we were there an inmate we met who spent time here, told us about some of the horrors behind these walls. we ate at the restaurant decent food reasonbly priced. a must see!!!

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

We love to hear about everyone's experiences, thank you for sharing that. We really would have liked to have been able to sit down with some of the former inmates and guards who now act as guides but we just didn't have the time we needed to really do that the right way. What do you think, should we do another video and include their stories? 😀👍

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

We really enjoyed making this video, it is so different than our normal work. Please take a moment to let us know what you think. Thanks! 😀

[@sempergumbie]

I like seeing a mix of videos of locations we visit as well! Keep up the great work! See you all in 2 weeks!

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

@sempergumbie Agreed! There’s so many ways to cover the same material. See you soon, buddy! 👍😀

[@sempergumbie]

Great video Dave! Oh yeah, I was out of there like flash!

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

Thank you buddy! 😃👍

[@user-cs5go1yk6n]

My boyfriend was a prisoner there and he said that it was horrible especially when the weather was bad

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

It doesn’t look like it would keep out the weather very well. I don’t doubt that at all.

[@BackcountryNomad]

Cool vid..... On my bucket list..... Thabnks for sharing !!!!! see ya at MOORE ! P.S. Just curious. did they let you walk about on your own? or did you have to stay with the tour?

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

Thanks! So the prison was actually closed to the public but was open to those of us who were attending the Southeast Overland Camping Event. If you’re not familiar with that event, we did this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGxdqeFeLWkh5Isi=ESJcPj9BfMg2TZ6k We paid a few bucks to do a self guided tour which was cool but we would have liked to have also taken a guided tour because those are done by former guards and prisoners who were there when it was open. We also found out that they do some overnight tours where they leave you there alone … they lock you in at dark and then let you out in the morning. How crazy would that be? Maybe we should get a group of crazy folks together and make one hell of an awesome video! 😂😃👍

[@brookswade5774]

I live 45 min away from brushy mountain state prison and I’ve toured it before. I’ll have to say I learned several things by watching your video. Thank you.

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

Thank you! There was so much more that we wanted to add in the video but we really didn't want to make it too long. Maybe we'll go back sometime and do a deeper dive. 👍😀

[@user-du9ko1fj1h]

I live in Bristol,TN.

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

Oh, that's not very far at all. Have you visited the facility before? 😀👍

[@Melissa0774]

I think I saw an episode of MSNBC Lockup about this place. I remember the guard saying they had to be extra careful to check for hidden weapons above the doors and stuff because, being an old building, there were tons of little nooks and crannies in the walls to hide stuff. Was this the place that had all the cats walking around the yard and prisoners would adopt them?

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

Wow! Love the stories about this place! Hadn’t heard about cats there but a deer fell off one of the cliffs into the yard and became a pet/mascot for years. 👍😃

[@Melissa0774]

@@BestLifeAdventureChannel I'm actually not sure if it was this prison that had the cats. It might've been a different one. I saw it on an episode of MSNBC Lockup.

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

I’ll look into it. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@Melissa0774]

@@BestLifeAdventureChannel I just looked it up. There are a few clips from that episode on KZbin, but I'm not sure if the whole thing is posted and I'm not sure if all the clips about Kentucky are about Brushy Mountain, since they don't refer to it as that, in most of them.

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

Sounds like the cats might have been at a different prison.

[@kimberlywilliams9462]

I worked a lot of night shifts there as a corrections RN

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

I would imagine that you’ve got a story or two to tell. 🙂

[@donaldwilcoxjr.5212]

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

Wow! That’s an amazing story! Thanks for sharing! I’m sure that made quite the impact on him.

[@noahlove5136]

I did 3 years, then 10 years, then 35 years, at Brushy, alot of what is said here is wrong. I still keep prison ID card, just so I will never forget, nor never return.

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

At some point we'd be interested in interviewing you. 👍😀

[@Bigbuffdaddyinspeedosinkayaks]

People could really get out of that place if they was from Tennessee Virginia and West Virginia especially the people who are familiar with mountains wouldn’t be as hard as it looks.

[@BestLifeAdventureChannel]

We were surprised to learn that a lot of people did actually escape. 👍😃
