In this episode we're exploring an abandoned state prison. It opened in 1932 as a reformatory for youthful offenders but was converted into a medium security prison in 1997. It closed in 2011. Currently the structures are facing demolition for a warehouse.

As someone who was institutionalized a few times in my younger days Idk why but seeing walk throughs of abandoned jails and such gives me major sad vibes like I’m just imagining if those walls could speak what they would say. When you’re inside these places you just feel so hopeless it’s hard to even put into words. I especially felt this on your Katrina ravaged prison urbex vid. Just my small amount of time was enough to pretty much give me a version of PTSD. I can assure you this place didn’t look much better when it was operational. All the old worn down stuff was old and worn down long before this place shutdown.

I know exactly how it felt, sounded, and smelled in that place when it was in operation even though I've never been to that specific jail. Our local jail has those same exact typical 6x8 cells built in the 1930's, same toilet, same bunk, same walls, same bars, all the way down to the locking mechanisms, but they're still in use today here. The phones that the cell block guards use are those old Bakelite phones with the really loud ring and when the phone rang it almost always meant that someone from Booking was calling to tell the guard that an inmate was to be released, so when it rang I would get my hopes up (been there 5 times). Heck even the mattresses look the same. Take my word for it kids, JAIL SUCKS!!! Don't break the law and please let this video be your only experience in jail because believe me it's the exact opposite of a good time and the novelty of being "locked up" wears off as soon as you get there.

At 3:35 when you are discussing the same tile you see in all institutions. The reason they use that type of tile is because it, essentially, lasts forever. That type of tile is not just glued to the cinderblock wall. There is an underlayment of wire mesh and mortar behind it. It's expensive as hell to put in but it takes a damned sledgehammer to break up. 100K years from now, you could dig out that tile from the ground, wash it off and it would look like the same as the day it was made. By the by, all of those green mattresses probably came from the Bob Barker Co. of Fuquay Varina NC. Also, always bear in mind, none of the inmates sent there was due to their playing "hooky" from Sunday school class. Good video.

A bit like in Shaw sheck redemption where he said "I became a croock when I went into prison"... What makes me even more sad is that in USA everything is privatised so it becomes a business venture almost... In Australia and UK the facilities are owned by government still but the staff are privatised and that's where they cut costs... Privatisation only makes things worse! Wish we copied the Finnish system jail system as a truly rehabilitation place... Do you have an opinion on that...?

I work in a juvenile detention center in the maintenance/hvac dept. You would not believe the amount of phones/pills/cigarettes/drugs they find when they rarely decide to toss cells, even when they weren't allowing any visitors because of covid. The only people who had contact with the kids during that time was the guards, teachers, and medical team. Even when they find contraband they don't try to figure out where it came from and only a couple officers have been caught bringing stuff in, because the officer at the employee entrance actually checked them when they set off the metal detector, usually they don't even look and tell us to go on if we set it off. It's ridiculous

He is somewhat fortunate to be serving his time at a camp because when he's not working at his job he can go outside to the yard/track (weather permitting), or use the library/computer room pretty much when he wants to. They're still heavily restricted but have a lot more freedom than those serving time at the adjoining medium security prison.

Seems like in America when a facility like a prison, a hospital or a factory closes down the people just walk out and everything is left behind just as it was. One would expect the items being removed and sold, for scrap metal if nothing else, but no, everything is just left there. It's quite a contrast to poorer countries, I have visited an abandoned Soviet era air force base in Estonia and EVERYTHING made of metal had been removed and presumably recycled, even the handrails in the staircases and door hinges and handles. All the electrical wiring and plumbing had also been taken out to recycle the copper. Only bricks and concrete was left.

It's funny you mentioned the scrape thing on the ceiling, every time I see paint peeling like that, I want to take a wide buddy knife and scrape a section. Your video's really showcase that desire.

Yet another AWESOME urban exploration adventure from Bryan and Michael! Gonna say the quiet part out loud but looking at those dorm halls, one can only guess, imagine and DREAD at the kinds of unspeakable shenanigan's that possibly went on, or were intentionally overlooked by the guard on duty, In those now long abandoned Dorm Halls when the lights went out. If those walls could talk! YIKES!!! 😖

Ahh... the vibes of desolation and despair are so nicely conveyed by your videos - including the necessary comic relief every now and then. 👌 With prisons, I always wonder if the particular one was just people storage or were there genuine resocialization efforts undertaken.

It's a US prison, and the dorm room type of cells should point you towards the answer. Living proof of our society failing.

@@g412bb In fact that dorm looks like just a small, more modern update on concentration camp stuff minus (I hope) the filth. And I'm not kidding.

4:27 Its actually Windows XP without Luna. You can make it out on that Start icon Windows symbol which is quiet unique to XP and Server 2003. And the abstinence of the quick start on the start bar tells its not Server 2003.

The fact that I'm watching a video about an abandoned prison, that happened to have the July August 2009 issue of Playboy in view at 18:05, which happened to have an article on Billy Mays.. Sometimes the internet amazes me..

At least the juveniles aren’t caged in their beds-the guards are caged. I think that’s smart. I love those cafeteria trays! I would love to have them! I love that industrial subway tile on the walls. It gives an impression of “clinic,” “laboratory,” or “institution.” And as sparse and lonely and perhaps even inhumane as a juvvy detention center may be, its not meant to be an amusement park. Children do better under sparser conditions, especially ones with behavioral problems. This place was probably nice at one time.

I was riveted throughout! Just when I thought I understood the timeline of relays to logic controllers, here is an interim technology. These days with MRLs the norm, it seems to a layperson like me that lift machinery costs (acquisition, installation and maintenance) must today be a smaller chunk of a building's costs than in the 70s. Is this accurate? Just the space and the electricity for the generators in Four Ways must have been a massive part of the cost. This was before the days of "smart" lighting, HVAC and building management systems....the lifts must have been the most solid and complex thing in the entire structure! Thanks so much for another brilliantly detailed and well-paced video.
