These places are crazy and more common than people think. You did a great job documenting the history man

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

[@Bloodrocutioner]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS you're welcome man!

[@tiffanyanderson7320]

😮 kids were miss treated by the staff here, some even murdered and buried on this property in a hidden grave. This is crazy. I’m glade to see it’s been closed. Thanks for sharing!!

[@woowoowoo2417]

[@merryking566]

Wow this is really crazy.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks auntie!

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

You're welcome.

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Florida has one of the worst prison systems in the country with regards to inhumane conditions.

[@johndixon3906]

I absolutely love your videos. They’re so much fun to watch! I’m eagerly anticipating the next abandoned haunt season with you. They’re my favorite!!! 😆

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Glad you like them! Thanks for tuning in like always.

My father worked here when I was young. I remember mom taking him lunch on a weekend afternoon. Those houses around the outside perimeter were part of staff housing. There was a half-way house type of program connected with the school. But it was down the street about a mile away.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for sharing that! Were the halfway houses those blue buildings that look like small efficiency apartments at the 8:47 mark in the video?

[@Libertaro-i2u]

​@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS Though I doubt any halfway houses would have apartment accommodations, especially not apartments accessible from the outside.

[@cedricmills4813]

This had me glued to my phone. Great find!

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Much Appreciated! Thanks for watching!

[@arbeautysupply]

Another KZbinr, Tampa Jay, recently posted a vlog about this same location, but his video lacked the detail and footage that yours provides. He had some of the abandoned homes but not the prison. He must was scared to go in it lol.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I saw his vlog. I had watched a video over a year ago that showed the neighborhood but lacked details about this place. It wasn’t until I saw Tampa Jay's vlog that I got more information, which inspired me to go film it myself. Thanks for watching!

[@orlandoprinting6620]

I'm glade to hear that this place is shut down. How they treated those kids was hateful.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

SAME! Thanks for watching!

[@Libertaro-i2u]

The way they treat both adults and children in Florida's incarceral system is largely inhumane.

[@Acanofalconpunch]

​@@Libertaro-i2u Good don't go back. Even tho life sentences majority needs the d. Penality

[@loridelorenzo4393]

Great video

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

[@merryking566]

WOW, this is creepy

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for watching!

[@seanmichael8058]

Inmates didn't say in the houses out of the gates those were staff houses. There was one cottage for inmates under 16 with 2 months left that went to school and one for 16 and older for inmates with 2 months left to have jobs in the community. I was there

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for sharing that info!

[@Acanofalconpunch]

Did you learn your lesson?

[@jamesbnadaparati352]

Houses are for working guards families

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Appreciate the info!

[@jermainejabril3420]

I was looking for this comment before I posted myself 👏 I’ve been to prison in Florida and I remember looking out the window seeing so many houses as we entered the camp at multiple facilities dropping off inmate throughout Florida. And once seen a C.O in uniform walking in one of the driveways that’s when I knew it had to be C.O housing

[@katiecox8127]

This place creeps me out

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for watching!

[@NomadinBroward]

Where's this located??

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Okeechobee Florida

[@kathiep7781]

2020? Omg. Thats so recent! Florida is like a 3rd world country!! Soooooo sad 😢

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for watching!

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Certainly when it comes to prison conditions.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

@@Libertaro-i2u Thanks for tuning in!

[@fergu588]

I remember that's how my Mom would threaten me about that place..It worked too

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

lol 😂, smart lady. Thanks for sharing that!

[@Abandonedflorida]

I called and asked for permission they said I couldn’t go 😢 I know exactly where this is and have been scouting for 2 years

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Go ahead, it’s wide open! Just be cautious if you enter a dorm-if the door closes behind you, you could get stuck inside. Thanks for watching!

[@Abandonedflorida]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESSyou have a email I don’t have instagram I live in Melbourne I could share some locations with you love to talk to you about your experiences !

[@IdahoParanormal]

address?

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I’m not sure of the exact address! It’s located 5 minutes South off the same state road as the prison in Okeechobee.

[@IdahoParanormal]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS Can you find like a resteraunt or company or something thats close to it so i can find it easier, please and thnk you

[@Acanofalconpunch]

​@@IdahoParanormalpretty sure you can't post addresses on KZbin comment sections.

[@IdahoParanormal]

@@Acanofalconpunch Why not? Ive seen people do it all the time, its not doxxing someones house or something, but I did find it

[@rickflare1040]

I honestly love to take over an abandon place by take over literally take ownership (not squat) but that’s free real-estate

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for watching!

[@RichieAndersen]

Is that gulf ci

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

No!

[@margritpiepes8242]

Here us my Question. Those staff members that mistreated the Kids , where they EVER charged ????

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

"I'm not entirely sure, but I'll definitely do my research. From what I've heard, there were tragic incidents involving children killed by the staff, and there was even talk of a hidden graveyard on the property. The police searched the area, but I never heard whether they found anything or if anyone was charged."

[@mikemoran4340]

So cool. But at the same time, what a f'n WASTE. Got some homeless, er ah "unhoused" 🙄 down the street from me that would love TFO that house

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

I agree it's a waste. Thanks for watching!

[@foreclosureofadreamurbex5420]

Me and Abandoned in 360 have been there multiple times. Watch out for Okeechobee county Sheriff's Office as they keep a close eye on this place.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for the heads up. I was there 3 hours filming. Not one car road through that property while we were there.

[@foreclosureofadreamurbex5420]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS we don't live far from there if you would like to go back someday. Maybe do an overnight challenge?

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

@@foreclosureofadreamurbex5420 Sound good to me. I would like to find that hidden grave yard or the police already found it and dig it up?

[@Abandonedflorida]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS they already dug it up but you could probably find where they did it !
