This show is a repeat of a 1983 show I did with Rae Corelli about the demise of the BC Penitentiary. There are some moving accounts from ex-cons about their time in this dungeon.
This program was repackaged as part of a Pacific Report update in 1986 when they made it into condos.

I grew up in the housing development that was being built in this report. I can't begin to imagine how big a contrast my life growing up there was to the lives of those who had been living there 15 years earlier. Thanks for posting!

In Haney Correctional (ages 16 to 19, solitary was far more draconian; a 6x8 cell with no light, no view through steel door, and no mattress. For night only, a blanket; for meals, 8 slices of bread and a steel cup of water twice a day, though every third day a regular meal was provided. A different era, unlike the wimpy jails now commonplace.
