It Happened in Windsor - Breaking into Jail

In this episode, I speak to Kyle Kurzuk, a Photographer and Urban Explorer who who knows how to get into interesting places.
We talk about going into the Old Windsor Jail, after it was closed down.
If you never had a chance to get a peak inside the Old Jail, now is your chance.

What a great video!!! Ive watched this a cpl times now, definitely a great video

[@MikeEvansWindsor]

Thank you! I think it is time to get back into the old jail.

[@yjwrangler7819]

This was fun. I've never seen the inside before. I also didn't know there was a tunnel to the hall. Thank you for this!

[@justinporter7309]

I also took the tour when it was open to the public and have been itching to go back. I agree that they do need to find a use for this amazing building and preserve the history. Great video and awesome interview with Kyle!

[@MikeEvansWindsor]

[@yeye1582]

This is coo because i use to go to the school right next to the jail and I always wondered what was in there and i still always go by it

[@blessedb2976]

This would have been so great to go on this tour. I would love that mirror. I would hang it in my front room

[@kellybeaulieu4674]

My Uncle Jim was the barber there for a long time. I hope they think about doing more tours. I'd love to check it out.

[@lauravenney8525]

So interesting! So much history.

[@redeyegod3892]

My man Kyle! Great video!

[@kenzulian2007]

That was a good video, I applied for a cooking job several years ago there.

[@onespanishonion]

I took the tour when the jail closed, the place where they would hang the prisoners stood out in my memory

[@northernlightsandsirens4230]

Hope that you didn't step over or on it.

[@CoozPulls]

Did 18 months in that shot hole!

[@79tazman]

I spent 28 days in the Windsor jail back in 1998 it was my first time going to jail

[@tmsfirst]

I grew up just down the street. Heard a lot of rumours.

[@ritacarducci344]

[@ritacarducci344]

[@JesseTaylorVigneux]

Oh I would love to get my hands on that mirror :)

[@rickyross7764]

I've spent a lot of time in there

[@nozecone]

Classy looking building - on the outside! Hope some use is found for it. So - you guys haven't gotten arrested yet??

[@MikeEvansWindsor]

Not yet!

[@nozecone]

@@MikeEvansWindsor Good - I would recommend keeping a low profile for awhile.... But if things go south or sideways or pear-shaped - plead irony. And if you can get the judge laughing, you're home free. I'll be watching the court news ... !

[@michaelwilson999]

they can't tear the former ex prison down on brock street because it's a heritage place it's like a legacy it's bin there forever

[@desmondo3312]

My Mum lived c.300m from Windsor jail, on Mill Street. Yes, pull my name from the hat please - I will pay postage!!

[@gerrygerard5423]

i was in there during the riots one guy ripped his cell door right off the track and threw it across the range kn nuts than the guys on a and b range pluged the toilets and flooded the main floor

[@ryanlesperance777]

I was on D-range in the spring of 2000. In the processing room, where you get changed into your prison garb, there was a floor drop where they used to hang people. That is absolutely true.

[@sayless9937]

how'd you get in?

[@IdkAgain-de9eb]

I heard they used to hang people there

[@MikeEvansWindsor]

It is true

[@scottyhughes9179]

Kyle.... pick me, pick me!!!
