I have a couple freinds who worked here when it was running and I know a older guy who worked there in the late 60 as a "Porter"---housecleaner
The guys all tell pretty much the same story that at night when the lights were tuned down these big bad tough guys all locked in there cells in the dark
the guards would hear all kinds of screaming and crying the old porter told me that the first job in the morning was to take a fire hose and wash down the poo, pee, and blood on the walk way---and yes i know this could be a urban ledgen but im thinking its problay true
I cant really think of a much worst looking place to be hauled to and to knwo you wee going to be there a LONG LONG time Im sure in tits last few years that the prisoners actually had rights but we all know in the 50's-60's it just had to be hell on earth

More progress. Just another piece of history I ain't gonna get to see. Oh well, glad I never saw the inside of it when it was in operation. I'd sure like to see it before it goes though, especially "old sparky".

I think the stone structure is going to remain... the artical said only the most historic structures will remain.
