The Jail

Check out the video here!!

https://youtu.be/eaoU2NxzUJo

In 1889 the Governor's Residence was built, let's take a peak at what it looked like!!

PSA: Please don't mention where the location is in the comments.

The original gaol building which includes two L-shaped portions as well as the original exercise yard were completed in 1854. It is a stone walled two-storey building with a gable roof.

In 1869 a new two-storey jail was built using limestone blocks along with three new jail yards. One of the jail yards may have been used for executions by hanging where people would gather to watch. Later in 1877 a third storey addition was built adding 14 more cells to the jail.

In 1889 the Governor's residence was constructed. It is a two and one-half storey red brick building.

Here are a few interesting facts about the prison:

Up until the 1850s when the first jail was built, jailers would often have to keep prisoners in there own homes.

The prisoners would be confined to their cells for most of the day and night, they were made of stone and likely very cold and only three feet wide!

The first prisoners, a man and his mother were being held in the prison temporarily before they were moved to a larger facility. The gaol was not finished yet, the surrounding walls had not been built and there was scaffolding surrounding the building. Some friends of the inmates came and removed the scaffolding and pried the bars off. The mother would be captured a year later but the son was never caught.

In 2011 the jail was permanently closed and vacated and ownership was transferred to the city. It has sat vacant ever since. The jail is also listed on the city's heritage registry.

Since then the city has listed the building for sale many times, one time being for as little as $1. They have issued a request for proposals and received no responses. Most recently, the city has sold the property for $50,000 and the buyer would like to create a wedding venue, dining and entertainment complex with a shared workspace area. The site would also include an interactive museum.

As much as I want to be a wholly joyous about the fact that Henry Kissinger is finally fucking dead, as he deserves... There's a lot of me that can't help being upset with. With the fact that he lived to 100 years old. He got better medical care, better housing, and a better, more stable life for those 100 years than billions on this planet ever going to see and he did it specifically through exploitation, state sanctioned murder, and lies. He lived to 100 years comfortably on a legacy of violence that rarely threatened his personal comfort. I want to be joyous that he's finally dead, because the world IS better with him dead, but the reality is he won a long time ago.

#sorry to be a hashtag Downer but I've been thinking that for a few years like what victory is there when war criminals live full lives #and never face charges or jail time or any sort of mandated civil restitution #what victory is there when Kissinger died peacefully at home at age 100.#and what victory will there be when loads more 20th century war criminals die out naturally? what comfort can that bring?#bc to me all it says is the Next Kissinger will get the same mercy and same immunities #personal #pol #<- kinda

Is Prison the Answer?

Has it ever been? Like, let’s get real honest about mental health. Many folks who deal with mental health issues have trauma from outside sources. We need to start by acknowledging that fact. The second thing that we need to acknowledge is that in the past our answer to mental health issues was to lock folks up, beat, drug, rape, and torture them while calling it medicine. The third thing…
