Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2024
- In today’s video we explore an abandoned Irish prison left with everything still inside including working electricity. After the prison’s closure in 2016 due to a newer prison being built the jail was used in a movie about the HM Prison Maze. Come join us as we walk through one of the best abandoned prisons in Europe.

That cell is Thomas Kent’s cell. He was shot by British army in 1916. They had an open day where you could visit his cell and the grave he was buried in the prison grounds on his 100th anniversary. In 2015 he lay in state in nearby chapel in Collins Barracks flanked by army, navy and airforce. It was nice to attend such a historical event.
@7:07 a listener is a prisoner who is like a good Samaritan who a prisoner can talk with anytime night or day if they are feeling suicidal.
Or to pass contraband or messages to other prisoners 😂
Good video and to be in relatively good condition and when you mentioned that it was used as a film location, it reminded me of a very good film called 'Some Mothers Son' (1996 dir Terry George) and starring Helene Mirren and John Lynch. Is is a superb film and well worth watching if you have not seen it, I will check out The Maze film. I lived in County Cork in 1999 for couple of years, I am Welsh born from Cardiff for reference and I felt at home in Ireland as if the ground was alive, and given the History I am not surprised, anyway enough of me going on and will look forward to catching up with your videos.

Most people are trying to break out of prison..these lads are breaking in

😂😂😂
Lads ye were down in d block where d padded cell was, I was in the cell next to that when I was 16 yrs old with just a mattress on the ground with like a leather cover so u sweat like a c””” trying to sleep with the fans on up on the right which had no cover’s then n a gallon drum with the side cut out and that was your piss pot no cover for it, I used to spend 23 hrs a day in there n left into the small yard ye showed for they said an hour I know was bs, they name of it was D block which was a punishment block, if yeze wanna know more don’t hesitate to get in touch 👍🏻
That's cool lads,creepy, would love to do something like this,great videos
A 'Listener' is in the in-house version of the Samaritans. They're trained prisoners that others can talk to in confidence
Great explore Jamie, loved it 😁
The lads had to use plastic bags for toilets. They hung them outside the cell windows. I was told it was a horrible place. Prisoners got compensation for the the lack of toilets .
Sh*ting in a bag in front of your cell mate 🤮
Well done lads..loving your videos
Brilliant lads thanks
Cracking explore, lads 👏
You are the best I have ever heard telling the story of the prison keep it up you will go places , without a doubt

Savage video guy's thanks for sharing 👍

Very enjoyable 😊
There's a feasibility report due this month on this prison...
"In late 2023, engineering consultants were engaged by the Irish Prison Service to carry out a detailed assessment of the old Cork Prison facility and to provide a feasibility report on the site with various options for its use."

Thought I was losing my mind when I saw 'HMP Maze' notices in a prison in my hometown (Cork, in the Republic.) I was, like, "Oh, so we _did_ finally get a 'United Ireland'... if not quite in the way we were expecting! I know I've been gone a while but I don't remember _that_ being on The News!"
Isn't it amazing how once a premises becomes abandoned, like, 10 minutes later there's weeds shooting up through the floor and the paint is coming off the wall in sheets?! Of course, Ireland's climate doesn't help. As noted by several others, it's amazing there isn't one tag on the walls, or one discarded syringe? Especially a complex held in such... 'affection'! Not to mention all the copper, etc, not being stripped out... I suppose, being a prison, some of the things that make it hard to get out of make it hard to get into, 'n all! Or maybe with the old asylum being burnt down a few years back, someone actually decided to invest in some _meaningful_ security!
This one was amazing 👏
Gonna look for the movie
The movie should be called The Maze on UA-cam you’ll be able to see loads of the prison in the movie 🍿
What's really funny how inaccurate the film is as the maze is all single story buildings
@Me-cq6kd still tho was a watchable film
The difference in the condition of the prison since 2016 is mad
Have you any videos of when u explore the maze (the actual maze prison) would love to see that or if u go bk please record!
Very well done thanks you 💯 good
I was in mount joy about 30 years ago as a teenager that visiting room and everything else is a clone of what was saint Patrick’s and is now mt joy west the cells are the exact same and the corridors the joy is the same good British building built to last many a ghost in their
I was in saint Patrick's 20 years ago they then put in full screens that went up to the ceiling ... The landing look very similar to pats
@@quack437 when I was there it was like that with out the screens it was when the women’s prison was underneath us well they were on d.1 and d.2 we used to talk on the pipe in the floor in the cell ah to be young and silly haven’t been back since 1997
@@Antoward when i was there the woman were moved to the dochas centre and D wing became the drug free wing it was a life lesson i needed but would never want to repeat ...
@@quack437 yeah me to got 2 years for a dud check in 96 got out in 15 months later most of it up on d.3
That room is Recreation if don't want to go to the yard in evening time
Nice one bhoys 😎 🏴
A turn it into a museum. Also a place to bring children to experience, it might have a positive outcome in the future. A part of the prison set aside for role-play for school's.✌️☘️
Fair play lads well done great explore, need to get my ass over there and explore this lol
It’s amazing mate , let’s link up sometime for an explore 🔦
@@Jamierob02 Im game , give you a shout when im heading over there
Will probably become a migrant camp in the not too distant future 😬
Probably?🤣 Id say the plans are in the works... The sad thing is we paid for this through hard work, the disregard & waste of tax money is disgusting. if that was privately owned it wouldn't be sitting doing nothin. Apart from the obvious. Housing & homeless crisis. This could be a tourist attraction, a set location for video content. Essential we paid for it. We could get Get community get involved.
But if rant!
@@Loy365its owned by the dep of justice, they claim they are expanding the new cork prison to help with overcrowding 🙄
Old Cork Prison 😮
Drones weren't out when it was open probably put stuff in balls and fruit and threw them from yard to yard
🔥🔥🔥
Don't tell me, it's going to be another IPAS centre.
Seems the news pappers are after yee.. For a cool video hehe
A jail room w/o CR ?😅
That's exactly what it's used for Recreation when yards not on and mass on a Sunday
Worked in that place for 8.5 years
love the abandoned prisons man, extra creepy
All those footballs full of drugs bro happy birthday😂😂😂
Luke old cork prison rathmore road 💯
Head down the block screws used to torture people down there facts .
I was in d block for 4 weeks at 16 yrs old, if ya want to find out more I’ll be glad to let know it was a nasty place
@@derekodonovan7468 was on A B and C wing in 90s
Was never on c wing I didn’t say that did I, u can c C2 wen he’s going up the stairs and we knew there was only two floors in c unit every one knew that
6 months in D block were u on punishment solitary or for ur own choice r on protection
@@derekodonovan7468 in the late 90s ye had C1 and C2 the 3s was a sex jockey landing 🤮
B2 was known as the caravan u can guess why spent a bit of time in there slooping out a was rough
The place ur calling the canteen is were the gym was
4 years in there in the 90s.some said it was one of the better prisons they've been.cant comment on that, but it wasn't to bad to be honest
Prisoners were allowed one shower a week and the officers wouldent open the showers so maby 1 every 2 weeks if ur lucky
I can think of a great way to use this place.
Kent barracks is in the Curragh Camp kildare
Where is this prison
There's know prisoner canteen eat in cell there a servery then back to sell
Is is a pretty amazing abandoned Prison man. But is an abandoned Prison not just an empty building? Who was last to go? The prisoners or the Guards?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Prisoners made them painting in new prison in art and crafts school I could give you some proper history on the jail
Where is this prison
@@eoindonlevy4581 Old Cork Jail, Rathmore Road
The Irish have to be housed too. Right???. Every space could help.😊
You eat your food In your cell that's why theres no canteen lads
That was the old gym in the video
When was the move made jamie
I know where that is and I have it saved on the map as I was looking for abandoned places as I know the asylum in cork itself is now a construction site not sure if I go and see this as I don’t want to be caught but I might go and see it myself not sure will I go in and have a look and take pictures and videos I do like to explore old places and historical ones too
Cork City prison not spike
W video
It was all one yard until there was a serious assault so they divided it for A&B yard
Wich made no sense because you could just walk on to a landing from b or see everyone including protected prisoners in the visitors box the place was a joke only people they protected was sex offenders in there and the prison officers were brutal and corrupt would never even chek on prisoners treated them like dogs. Phones hardly ever worked food was dirt and u couldn't hear your visitors on a visit it was to full. The officers use to stand behind female visitors on visits looking at there asses because the had to kneel on a chair and hunch forward to hear a conversation. The officers use to steal the meat and take it home so the prisoners got hardly any. They had favorites aswel who got special treatment for information or who the police mite have ask to take of an informer the place was a dump and its all still happening in the new place.
That's governor wat he tower
I absolutely agree. A place wasted. Now maybe they could spend the same amount of money that they even spent on Ukrainian pets to come to Ireland, well on renovating and housing some of the Irish homeless😊. I think even the ghosts would be well ok and Irish enough to agree with me. 😊
Bridge too far there - think our own are first priority on the housing list all fourteen thousand of them
I know a massive underground site that's local you might be interested in 🤫 also a huge mill off the radar..
@@enigma-records I’d be very interested 🔦
As we go back to the future, who knows,
Good horror movie seen
Unreal
Don't U think it is better to be not in use or
and open , at least the homeless can go in and have shelter and anybody that needs to be out of the cold
That visiting area is big enough for 2 or 3 family's ,personally I would rather see people in from the cold..why are all these buildings kept for the sake of history ___ that was then and now is now
class
I seen a clip on tiktok. A private rave party took place few months ago . I could be wrong..
If them walls could talk
They'll probaly say stop pulling the balls off yrself
He shows you its cork
When ur walking over to the school u can see all the bags of s..t stuck on the razor wire

Stay out of prison
Why is the an italian flag in the thumbnail
It's literally an Irish flag in the thumbnail. It's green, white and orange. Not green white and red
@gameplaygirl3268 the one in the background in the corner against the wall literally looks more red and orange to me. Literally.
@@liamg1706 AHH that one. I see what you mean, could just be the lighting. In the video he shows that cell, it was used for the film so probably a left over prop.
@@liamg1706 I've just rewatched that part of the video, it's definitely the lighting because the green also looks not green too, but the flag definitely has orange undertones
Great place to house the immigrants.
💯 that’s where they should be instead they get 4/5 star hotels.
@@grlfcgombeenhunter2897 Just cos they put them in disused hotels, you _do_ realise they don't get the 'hotel' experience, don't you? Or are you one of these, "Oh, you know they give 'em a car, and _everything!_ " guys..?
That's the attitude of a lot of ignorant and racist Australians now too about our kids and our nieces and nephews heading over there as migrants. There's never been so much work available here as there is now, so why should AUS house tons of Irish who are only heading for the sun and the craic? Not so nice when the same bullshit narrative is used against our own, is it?

This could easily be converted into a centre for international welfare applicants. Better than tents for the winter.
Internation welfare tourists. What about our own sleeping on the street. If our solution to helping asylum seekers is being homeless in Ireland with a free tent then
#irelandisfull
Better they went back to where they came from
Get them out
spike island

Spike island is in cobh also the clue is in the name island 😂
