The museum was very interesting. The history of the prison convinced us that we didn’t want to live there! The art work made by the prisoners was incredible. more »

Fun really well put together museum. Really good cell room displays you can mostly walk in and read about. Also has a great gift shop!! Truly a gem and a great historic piece. Won't take you long to get through but absolutely worth it.

Going here was a really neat adventure. Much thanks to Tonya for showing me around and explaining some of the preserved history there. Everything was well laid out and easy to access. If you're a corrections nerd, much like myself, you'll really love this place...and if not, you get a great sneak peek in to what a real prison used to look like long ago. Not to mention the spook factor in the basement. Play your cards right, you may have a brush with the paranormal. Visit and enjoy...you'll be glad you did.

I've lived here for ages and had never visited. I'm so glad I finally did! This is a really interesting museum. Lots of great history.
-
Great place to visit with friends and family. A lot of information provided about the history of the prisons.
-
Really interesting prison museum, sitting adjacent to a Correction Centre. Some moving exhibits of a bygone era, wonderfully preserved. A good 2 hours spent here learning about justice (and injustice).
