Exploring an Abandoned Dungeon like Prison from 1906 - cornered in cell by intruder

In America's first Capital city, is a prison built over a century ago. The prisons design was important, to bring a menacing imposing facade to all who saw it. This was an idealogy that began in the late 1700s, designing buildings with the architecture to match the purpose, and this Prison certainly shows its purpose.
Standing 5 stories tall, this red brick brutality Prison was built in 1906. It was a replacement for the existing Prison and served the community for decades until it's closure in 1979.
During its operation, the Prison faced some criticism for the treatment of its inmates, putting general population inmates in padded cells from overcrowding and lastly, feeding inmates road kill for cost saving efforts.
Since it's permanent closure, the Prison has been a site for people to visit to learn dark history first hand, and for others to use its walls for protection. This leads me to Bobby, a former correctional inmate we eventually meet inside and he will inform us of prison life and give us some insight on what's left behind.
This video is packed with history from over a decade ago and it really does feel like going back in time here , if you guys enjoy, leave a THUMBS UP and SUBSCRIBE for more exploring and historical content !

Bobby was a delight. Needing another to converse with is a big need. With everyone. Respect to him and yourself. You made my morning😁🕯

[@Crystal_Abbott-jn6xs]

This was an excellent exploration. So much history. I loved how Bobby shared so much to better understand the prisoner's lives. The references to bands from the 1960's and 1970's show music was a major part of the prisoner's lives. Again, thank you for sharing this with us.

That was really awesome. I bet Bobby scared tf out of you! I'm glad he was cool and him sharing his knowledge & experience was insightful. Wishing him the best. The architecture and little nuances like the stars are a memoir of the past. Also at 24:49 it reads Angel white with a star around it. Idk what that is but it's interesting and well done. Very cool explore!

Prisons always remind me of what Dostoyevsky said: A society should not be judged by how it treats its best citizen, but how it treats its criminals.

They shouldn't demolish it. They should restore it and house the illegal immigrant gangs inside it.

[@rhondak.2631]

Bobby was cool with all the info he shared. That had to be scary when he showed up right outside the cell. Question, was that you or soneone with you who had their arm dangling on the side of the stairs . It was at 45:39 in the video. I had to look a couple of times.
