    I remember "Old Sparky" was auctioned off about 20-25 years ago. It was on Ebay if memory serves me correctly. I can't remember the final bid, but it went for way more than I expected. I work for TDOT on the other side of Briley Parkway from this old prison. I've asked around about getting in to see the prison and I"ve not found a way yet. A guy works for me now who used to work for TDOC (Corrections). He still knows people there and he can't get us in.

      I work where you do and I've been all around and through the place doing state work. Have to be on a list at the guard shac and be expected on said date and time. There are security measures in place there that I won't discuss here but don't be surprised if full tactical armed guards don't pop out anywhere on that property. The columns to the original state capitol are there on that property but are not to be touched.

    I live in the Nashville area, and used to work off Cenntennial Blvd. Passing this evey day for work was always intriguing to me, I have gotten as close as the guard shack in the front with my bright orange and very noisy motorcycle, the guard of course met me, and I explained how I only wanted to photograph the beautiful monstrosity. He was okay with it, but did explain I needed to be quick as the building still had a heavy security force assigned there. I visited before the May 3rd, 2020 tornado and there was a newer building to the right that current prisoners would be assigned to cook for the "new" prison down the street. The tornado did damage the right side of the prison. Since the tornado, I have photographed the old prison just one time. To this day, one of the jobs of this facility for current prisoners at the TN state prison is grounds work, maintaining the gardens surrounding the guard shack and beyond, thus being the reason this is still heavily guarded even after closing in 1992.

    TN State Penitentiary was the official title, but "The Walls" was the name given by the inmates. Overcrowding was a huge issue. Those gen pop cells only had 1 bunk, but you better believe there were at least 4 inmates to a cell. Video and pictures don't do this place justice, although you all have done a great job capturing it in its current state. Before the tornado knocked down part of it, It was a menacing site driving onto the property. Once you passed the main gate and the whole front of it came into view, it was pretty haunting. "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" kind of vibe. The Green Mile, Ernest Goes to Jail, and some other films were shot here after it closed down and before it started falling apart due to lack of maintenance.

      My dad had worked in the prison system before I was born and I recall driving past it with him on the interstate as a kid and him saying it was abandoned now but used to be the prison and how they called it The Walls, which always sort of gave me the creeps. I remember that smokestack sticking up among the buildings as we'd drive past. Never seen inside it until now despite always driving past that smoke stack over the years and thinking "They call it The Walls".

    My wife is a former TDOC guard, now with sheriff's office in Rutherford county. I'm a former TDOC inmate, did five years in Bledsoe/Mark Lutrell. So know a bit. TDOC gets money for this site, and they protect it because the wardens of DJRC, Riverbend and Deberry prisons live next to it in addition to the permitted tourism it brings. You can get permission to see the site from the warden of Deberry, Riverbend, DJRC (women's prison) etc etc...and no I didn't meet my wife as an inmate I met her post release 😂 im also a former Florida deputy just had circumstances that required me to do five years in prison with Tennessee but trust me I know my facts and can say you can be shot for even just trespassing the walls without permission so bravo guys.
    Side not : the modern buildings house TDOC guards but police use the grounds for swat training and what not. I personally know a TDOC guard is who used to have this post, they dont go in just do perimeter patrols.

      See my post. State collects money as long as it stands and police use it for breach/enter training. My wife was with TDOC in 2020 as a guard and I know one of the guards who held this post recently. They protect it because it's a historic site also and they're afraid someone will burn it down due to current anti police corrections sentiments.

All offices in admin were destroyed and the floors collapsed. The basement down to officer locker rooms were all collapsed into the stairways as well. We explored what we could here. Also, with state police on site, we didn't want to get arrested checking buildings that just weren't worth it to us.

    It appears the tornado wiped the Jesus Door away. It was the main door to the Yard. If you got into a tangle with other inmates, you would run to the Jesus Door. The guards held it open if you could make it before you got shanked. A lot of guys did not make it and got killed on the ground out back.

    It's proven that if every human disappeared on earth it would only take around 1000 year's for nature to reclaim all that we've created. 1000 years sounds like a long time but human civilizations date back 10's of thousands of years. The fact that if we all disappeared today around 1000 years later there'd be no sign that humans ever lived on earth is astonishing.

    I'm having a disconnect. You said you might get arrested for being in there, but then you make the evidence of being there public. Is this video worth going to jail for to you? I guess the risk is part of the game? No need to answer. Just voicing my confusion.

      If you get caught in the moment, you'll most likely spend the night in jail at this location. Its not really worth their time to come after me 1-2 years after I explored the location. When people get caught here, its usually a few hours of community service and a small fine. I know 7-10 different people who've been caught here since 2014. They were way more strict before the Tornado damage.
