I spent many years here from 1996 until my release in 2012, k.p. was a very scary and dangerous place. there were many that didnt make it out of k.p. and most of the ones that did, went back. i was there until my warrant expiry on december 15/2012, i never was released on my statuatory release, i was told i was too dangerous, a psychopath with no remorse, who is a danger to society and will be back. i learned one thing from k.p., your freedom is worth more then anything. i proved everybody wrong, ive been out ever since, and will never go back, i completely changed my ways, and now im home with my wife and children, working, volunteering, and giving back. Thank you to all the staff of kingston penitentiary that were involved in getting me to realize the better way and that anybody can change, if they want too
I went there last summer and let me tell you the creepiest place at least for me was the yard! After the guide stopped talking there was a good 15 seconds of absolute silence..not traffic not even a bird chirippinhor flying by All I could think was open or closed I would hate being there at night..I'm not psychic or clairvoyant but it was just eerie You could almost smell the desperation and fear for a few seconds
Timothy I got so many questions about that place because I’ve been on the tour twice both times they wouldn’t tell me a damn thing I wanted to know can you message me on face book Sheane Keith please
I was in there in 1999. Twice on the TD unit. There were scary moments such as the 2 riots in June 99. I had arrived a month after Ty escaped. I was on RT unit as well. Kingston Penitentiary was a big eye opener for me. I had never dreamed that I would find myself there. I read books of 2 famous criminals like Roger Caron and Ernie Hollands had walked the blocks in this enormous facility. Every once in awhile when I share my story in AA, I speak of my experience of coming here. I know it's a museum now but I find that though my experiences there weren't too nightmarish, I will nevertheless never forget the continuous riot horn going off on June 5, 1999 around 8:30 pm. Not long after the goon squad appeared as I could smell something burning and I would hear shots being blasted from tear gas. I was only serving 2 years for Arson and yet I found that keeping my mouth shut was the only way to survive. It reminded me of Shawshank Redemption as I heard other cons get scared and than other cons making cat calls and laughing. You could get the feel of how cold and psychopathic some cons. In Kingston Penitentiary you rub shoulders with cons who in some cases will never be free again so knowing it's 100 plus year history makes me glad to have an experience that will be forever engraved into my subconscious. It's a huge motivater for me to stay out. I would later go on the be in other joints from 2000 to 2004. Stony Mountain was my first before I transferred prior to being here. Afterwards was in PA Pen, RPC Saskatoon and Pe Sakastew in Hobemma AB.

This was a great video and brough back many memories of working there for 32 years. I am hoping that something God will come of the closing and maybe the rest of the public can see the beauty of the buildings and see the history of the old girl. In a Sid emote it was a sad day to see this great institution close as I believe that it could still be a great institution and be one of the most modern institutions in Corretions.
A very nice video, showing the beauty of the architecture of the buildings. The stones tell their own story, just as the inmates have theirs. Thank you for the HD views
In its history, there were children sent there in its early days.... Two of these: Antoine Beauché and Alec Lafleur, aged eight and eleven respectively, were listed as receiving corporal punishment with the cat-o-nine tails during their time in Kingston prison. Antoine Beauché has the distinction of being the youngest child ever incarcerated at the penitentiary. For example, eight-year-old Antoine Beauche was imprisoned in 1845 for three years. He was lashed within a week of his arrival and a further 47 times over the next nine months. The punishment was for behaviour that included talking to others, looking at others, winking, nodding or laughing.
Children were disciplined harshly everywhere then and up until not many decades ago. In grade one, I spent time standing in the corner, being humiliated verbally, rapped over the knuckles with the sharp edge of a ruler…because I whispered to the kid across the isle.
I worked in criminal law and spent a lot of time interviewing inmates in general pop and the TD unit. Never had a problem with any inmate there...the staff was iffy!
I heard lots of stories from this place as I was growing up as my mother spent a couple years here working in administration.. her job was to go talk to the inmates and take their grievances and send the to the proper people to be deal with.. she had many interviews with Clifford Olsen... when i was a stupid kid i could get her pretty mad by referring to him as uncle cliffy lol
I wish you guys would go in to the Kingston pen and do full tour with all the cell blocks explain what the red segregation is show russel Williams old cell roger Caron’s and Paul though I know he was in cell 4 in seg cause I seen the burn marks when I was on the tour but they wouldn’t let us or tell us what cell was whose and explain the red block or green block so can you do a full tour of Kp and show us the gym and that please
was on the train me and 7 dsncers with a big line of coke on the sill and all of a sudden this light shone in my face and a voice went " do you want to get off here?" we were going through Kingston, so I did the whole line myself and said " No, no I wouldn't thanks"

The first book I read in "jail" (not prison) was "Go Boy" by Roger Caron. What an excellent read it is.
Wow, you sound like a veteran professional prisoner!
Excellent video. I hope that the city of Kingston opens it to public one day.
They have!!!
Should never been closed , should stand as a warning .

Hello. Do you know what cell or area James Donnelly from the infamous Black Donnellys was kept? Is their a picture of him in existence? Thx.

Is the guy walking around the prison a staffer?
Typical government production showing the guy walking around more than the building.
this is cool = my father, my brother and aunt believed in strict counseling 🤔😑🦅 as well as torture = similar to what they did here
Do u think u could ask if she remembers a man named Rodrick camphaug
Rodney or Rodrick camphaug...aka CAMPER
@@deannakoehler3161 nope she can't place him
He was serving 3 life sentences.....I've never met him to this day
1835 eh, i bet you that place has spirits and souls that have never left its grounds.
Some parts of this prison look very similar to stony mountain
I thought so myself
Was there any record that a woman guard was impregnated by a Black prisoner like cases in America?
Would like to see a cell with Trudeau's name on it.
he won't last long in jail!
