I also took the tour when it was open to the public and have been itching to go back. I agree that they do need to find a use for this amazing building and preserve the history. Great video and awesome interview with Kyle!
I was on D-range in the spring of 2000. In the processing room, where you get changed into your prison garb, there was a floor drop where they used to hang people. That is absolutely true.
i was in there during the riots one guy ripped his cell door right off the track and threw it across the range kn nuts than the guys on a and b range pluged the toilets and flooded the main floor

The socks were our footballs!

Thank you! I think it is time to get back into the old jail.
This was fun. I've never seen the inside before. I also didn't know there was a tunnel to the hall. Thank you for this!

My God it's different when your not behind the bars great work man brought back some memories.........
- Great video, memories flooding back to me from when I worked their in the late 70's😃
The only memory I have of the sandwich area is working on a lot of homes. Found some pretty interesting stuff! Beautiful part of Windsor
This is coo because i use to go to the school right next to the jail and I always wondered what was in there and i still always go by it
My Uncle Jim was the barber there for a long time. I hope they think about doing more tours. I'd love to check it out.
This would have been so great to go on this tour. I would love that mirror. I would hang it in my front room
That was a good video, I applied for a cooking job several years ago there.
So interesting! So much history.
Lots of history in sw Ontario, great!!!

Hi Rita! Thank you. What part of Windsor are you from?
@@MikeEvansWindsor I'm on Riverside can see Belle Isle from my place !
My man Kyle! Great video!
I spent 28 days in the Windsor jail back in 1998 it was my first time going to jail
I took the tour when the jail closed, the place where they would hang the prisoners stood out in my memory
Hope that you didn't step over or on it.
I grew up just down the street. Heard a lot of rumours.

they can't tear the former ex prison down on brock street because it's a heritage place it's like a legacy it's bin there forever
Oh I would love to get my hands on that mirror :)
Classy looking building - on the outside! Hope some use is found for it. So - you guys haven't gotten arrested yet??
Not yet!
