Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary - Petros, Tennessee

Come along as we tour Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary!
From their website:
For more than a century, Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary was the last stop for Tennessee's most wayward souls. A fortress of stone tucked in a stunning edge of the Appalachians, Brushy punished generations of Tennessee's hardest criminals and redeemed a humble few.
We welcome you to tour this iconic Tennessee landmark. You'll not only peer into the darkest corners of Brushy's history and brutal folklore but also hear stories of unlikely kindness and deep humanity. By the end, you'll have a newfound respect for the good people of Morgan County, the complex nature of Brushy's legacy, and the foggy mystery of this land we call America.
