I spent a few months there in 1997 as an inmate and actually did some of the tuckpointing outside the West Annex House. A little known fact Mr.T had an older brother who was one of the senior officers there and was pretty close to retirement at that time. Lot of energy in that building.
You worked there from another joint or were you in the East house?
Mr Ts brother still lives directly behind my brother a few miles from the prison
I pity the fool! 😆
Yeah he left and went to work for TransCor. Prisoner transport
I used to live in the Joliet Housing unit and at night back in 87-95 you could hear the prisoners yelling, and screaming.
Still some areas we did not see or even get to, its just too much to cover in time we were alloted. Still had an awesome time and a great experience getting to collaborate with and see Jon in action, he has been one of my channel inspirations since my channel went live almost 2 years ago
Great video. T.y 4 taking the time to go n in showing the prison n posting it on utube I was shocked that didn't look like a prison other then the bars u would think it was a hotel. They had band equipment. But my question is what where they doing with those target practice. Is it for gun practice or Arrowhead. What are they used 4 does any one know. But the crazy thing is the fireplace I know that it was built in the 1800 did the add heat 4 the inmates I know the inmates wasn't using it. LOL
A lot of that stuff. especially in the kitchen equipment is worth thousands of dollars even today wtf it just sitting there for?
how did you get in id like to go one day i live in the area haha shit looks awesome
@@danielbutler6823 grosses me out thinking about using it though.
Hey FELLAS, LOVE THIS ONE 😀. My Godson lives in a nearby town over there in Historic Lockport,IL which is next door to Old Joliet. BEWARE AND VERY CAUTIOUS BC ⚠️, there are rando junkies and people who trespassers who steal scrap and can be dangerous. Keep up the Great work 💪👷👍👏.
I’m jealous that prison is part of the best tv show series Prison Break
My favorite TV show
@@fredcollard2024 I still have VHS tapes of when I would record the shows on tapes. Cause at the time I was in 4th grade so I couldnt watch the episodes cause they aired at 9pm on Fox. So I recorded them instead.
I was born in Joliet Illinois and now I live in Indianapolis Indiana. My daddy was a prison guard there and I'm very proud of my daddy he was also a world war ll vet.
Awesome so glad you got in there enjoyed every minute. The prison made famous with the Blues Brothers movie John Belushi as Jake getting out and at the end of the movie back in with the guys. " It's never to late to mend " .
Thanks for the history lesson. Made the video more interesting. Now I'm going have stop the video n watch the BLUES BROTHERS. what year did the prison closed. T.a.
Blues brothers 2 was also filmed in a Illinois prison at the beginning where he's getting out that's Menard C.C.
Roughly 3 mins of The Blues Brother's movie, the beginning only, was filmed near the prison. They opened a door that hadn't been used in years. The inside was not filmed. The rest of the movie was filmed in other areas of Illinois.
Hi Jon, how cool you got access there to film, I didn't hear or see anything paranormal though. A fantastic video though of the old prison. Thank you for taking us along :). x
Great video guys, what a huge place to cover keep them coming. So many interesting things it's hard to know what to spend time on or looking for.
You are in my hometown, now I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. My father was a prison guard there back in the 60s. You are so cool dude. Stay safe.
I work around the corner from the prison, never heard of it until i started working in Joliet 5 years ago. I would get an uneasy feeling driving bye. My coworkers mom worked at what use to be the morgue accross the street and was there when the remains / bodies of Gacys victims arrived. (Or so she says) 😂 Joliet has a lot of interesting history.
I live just 15 minutes south from the old prison. Its super creepy!!
Thats awesome you were able to go through that front main entrance. I would have loved to check that area out. We did the free roam tour but as you probably know where you started was off limits for us. Great video! I recommend touring this historic prison if youre in the area!
A bit of brightness in a dark place. That painting really stood out and has been untouched after all this time.Interesting place. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Thank you for actually respecting the prison and the history unlike some that have come before us..
So neat to be able to see it in depth. Ghost Adventures just aired their episode here but I couldn’t see this much. They also saw full shadow men like you did. Now that you did I believe them. Awesome video!!
That was quite the exploration ,Jon! I am so glad that your friend told you about the place. It was a really trashy place & that doesn't even cover the stinky cooking vat! Thanks for taking us along with you on this fantastic exploring night! I hope that you are being careful around the mold! Great video content and looking forward to seeing your next video
Soooooo good, toooooooo short.
Jon, love these videos. Please do lots more. Can't wait for the next adventure!!!!!
Other cool video jon love it so much. Keep up the amazing work that you do.
18:31 as Jon asks " to make that noise again" orb flies right past.
You could just lokk at the rails in the cell blocks and you just know over the years many people were thrown over. Imagine exploring ALONE!
I work in a haunted prison in IL. Opened in 1880.
It is a very strange experience. You just figure it out over time and deal with it. People leave an echo and prisons are filled with misery.
Love your video's... no background music...no selling merch... no pretending to be possessed... .. .♥️ Amy friel from England UK x
A quick walk through is all fun and games. Quite different for someone doing a 24/7/365 stretch. I went through Statesville prison also in Joliet on Rt.53. At Statesville, the cells are in roundhouses with dirt floors but cement for cell floors. Don't drop the soap in the shower.
Great old prison, last time I was going to Explore there some jerks started a fire which caused it to be under hella lock and key thereafter. I'm glad you got there so I still get to see it man.
AWESOME Video ! I live about 35 miles from Joliet went on a night tour last year. It was great but you have better access.
I as well work in the idoc and have always wondered what this place looked like thank you for making this video
Great video! So interesting seeing this massive prison. It’s amazing the things that are left behind. This place is so historic. You most definitely should have been wearing a respirator. There were probably so many contaminants floating in the air that you should have not been inhaling. Pls wear some type of mask next explore. Loved the video❤️
Enjoyed the video Jon thanks for sharing.
Great content, Jon! Enjoyed it.
That place was amazing Jon thanks for the video
Hi Jon! Don't blame you for not wanting to go upstairs in the condition its in. The paint peel is cool. Does look like "Green Mile". That prison is massive. Awesome video.
It definitely does! That's the old Tennessee Penitentiary. I thought it was Joliet from the wall.
Best ghost hunting channel I’ve found, you seem really genuine!! ❤️
I love this place ! I love Prison Break so much :) Nice video ;)
I live a few blocks from there I could go walking if I wasn’t afraid lmao 🤣
Me to
Hey can u tell me why they abandoned this prison?
I used to live on Wisconsin Street so I drove past it every day.
Same..let’s do it
I’m close as hell too
Great job and very thorough!
If you're ever close to missouri or in the STL area let me know! I'd love to bring my gear along and record and adventure with you. I visited that prison during the day to take photos. Cool place!
Great video Jon.Very interesting and scary place.
Good video Jon, very interesting with a prison, dont know how they can live like that, Thank you for sharing, luv ya!!
That a nice jail. If it was kept up. it was nicest prison in the USA they had band equipment which no prison has now. N I know why because they would use it for a weapon. When grew up I was taught to fight with your hands. If u used a weapon you are a coward unless the person had a weapon then it was ok but u had to offer to fight with your hands. 👊
I believe Gacy was in Stateville - which is also in Joliet, IL. It's where he was executed.
Correct! Leopold and Loeb I believe were in the old Joliet Prison. Gacy and Speck I think were in Stateville.
He was but also in Menard death row awaiting death for many years , I was in Joliet when they executed him they locked down the whole DOC to do it.. never forget that. spring 1994
another cool explore vid. did y'all make it to the spot where "the chair" once stood?
My favourite exploration channel ❤
I know the show prison break was filmed there
Well... no shit Sherlock!
Shell yeah
Wish you could have made the trip Tim. That would have been awesome to have you there too.
. fuiikkkkyeahhh.
when have a new videos?
Thanks Jon for the interesting video!!
great video jon
hey jon , great explore video , its a shame you couldnt do a paranormal investigation there as that would have been cool , :)
Awesome video thank you for sharing
I heard a few things but it’s still creepy and a cool explore
7:23-7:24 noise or a sound
8:51-8:53 growly voice or sound
18:06-18:07 faint moan or yell
18:32-18:36 possible orb
👻💕
Awesome video, awesome place to explore. 🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘
THIS EXPLORE WAS EPIC I REALLY LOVED THE CHANNEL YOU NEVERVKNOW WHAT YOUR GONNA SEE OR HEAR MUCH LOVE YOUR FRIEND NELLY FROM THE BRONX 3🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Right after you said "Can you make that for me again" an orb flew by, down by the floor it came from where you were standing and flew the way your facing!
Very interesting and good video great job till next peace and lots of love. Bye
Even a 4 year old video is so entertaining with the history of Joliet prison, simply amazing.
Great explore!! Death row did remind me of Green Mile!!
Took a year long vacation there before I got sent to Vienna. Big difference to go from a max to a min security.
I really liked this video, very cool. I think the video tape type you had was a Beta Max tape.
Awesome Jon be safe love ❤✌from California🌴
I've been seeing billboards for tours of this place, I think I'm gonna go some time this month.
Enjoy these videos Jon!!! 👍👍👍
Crazy that i take this way to the VA clinic and didnt even realize i was passing by it til recently
No paranormal activity at the most haunted place in the state? 😞
Go there by yourself at night and lets see if you change your mind😉
GLING I’ve lived within half hour of this place and never really heard its haunted
You can See Westmorelands Ghost at the Ambulance Station
Yeah it’s haunted even in the day the most haunted is in the backyard ware houses and prison cells
Interesting video to watch. I personally did a 5 year stretch in Joliet in the early 90s. Place was no picnic hell on earth. Place will break you mentally 22 hour a day lock downs. The cells were 2 mans cells so imagine 2 men in that small room. Be interesting to tour with one of the old guards. They didn't play screw up and your getting beat down. Thanks for the video
I was there in '95-'96. 8 gallery cell 832.
In the early 90's they weren't on 22 hour a day lockdown that didn't happen to 96 97. I know I was there in 93 and 94 then went back for reception in 95
Only times we were on lockdown is when fights happened and usually it wasn't for the long, week or two. The summer's in the west house were brutal. The heat and the noise will make a man go insane. I seen a guy thrown off the side of 8 gallery on to 6 gallery. Not sure what he did but I didn't care but the weird thing I remember was when he landed on 6 gallery, a couple of CO and a older captain named Douglas started beating on the guy. Never seen the inmate again.
You should check out the Hiram B. Scutt Mansion in Joliet, Illinois. I used to volunteer back in the summer of 2008. A lot of history and hauntings there from the 1800s. You will have to ask for permission from the new owners. it is worth checking out.
Always a great explore...isn't this the prison that was in the movie The Blues Brothers? God bless
Yes, and prison break
Yes, at the beginning of the movie when Jakes released. The clothing building is across from the old water tower. There was a plaque on the wall about it
Hello John enjoy your videos from West Virginia thanks buddy
Cool place to visit. Great video.
Awesome place,with interesting history
"This is where they had preacher sermons and, for some reason, there's a hatchet." lol , that line killed me (pun intended)!
Spent over a year in that place, I was in the annex, east house and west house I wasn't even 21
I was there on a couple occasions You did not show the chow hall the shower building or the mattress factory those would have been good to see Really brings back memories. It was the receiving center for inmates and actually a lot better than the new receiving at Statesville where you are locked in a room for weeks on end waiting to be placed downstate.
That sure looks like LEAD PAINT. It peels like it. Hope you have your PPE with you!
Going there tonight
Good explore Jon ❤️
Bro you are so brave😎🤘
Nice video. How did you guys get in there? Now there are fences everywhere.
21:10 how an image can be so well preserved after so many years?
Quick question bud I live near by is it possible to go in the day or does Joliet block you from going or
Is it best at night ?
I did time there in the early 90s, I stayed in the annex for 30 day's before they sent me to Dixion, the place sucked it was August in it was crazy hot, the floors would sweat, you had to sit on the toilet in flush it just to cool off, I was 18 years old..
I went to receiving there for 15 days n 90's
Great video
Jake Blues was there when he got arrested.
Hey Jon if you want an interesting place to check out try the Medina Murder Mansion in Miami Florida if they haven't bulldozed over yet.
That place is great I need to visit there overnight. Wonder if the Joliet historical society takes donations 😃
Who makes jail so nice. Fireplace, wallpaper, glass doors with nice archways n wallpaper u have to be kidding if it didn't have Bar's u would think it was a hotel a very nniiicce😵
Lol that was all for officers...
Great this hunting video
Hello John, not capturing much, but I did see an orb at 18:30 a tiny one after you said "can you make that noise again?". Interested to see, but not haunted.
At 18:30 small spirit orb runs down the hallway and around that corner passed the windows on the right
Hi John, I really enjoy your videos I hope you are around for a long time but I fear you might end up making yourself very sick by not wearing a mask in alot of the places you visit. Please be safe. Hay we share the same birthday! August 9th different year. Happy belated Birthday! Take care of yourself and keep up the good work. Love, Ramona G.
Inmate Dining Room and the kitchen. Great assignment! Middle Gates was hell though.
Worked there 93 to close, you couldn’t pay me to go in there at night. I KNOW it’s haunted.
hi John and Sean xx
Through my homeless addict years I squated in many places n rarely felt wierd ghostly presence but just this short video n I felt that rare spirit ghost tingle I felt in a few spots n I ain't been in chicago squating yet felt the tingle I felt in the Harrisburg PA abandoned burn victims hospital or Ephrata pa old hospital there I've felt seen been touched shoved screamed at yet was completely alone n some of the contact was in awesome light big open well lit room n grabbed but this video I feel that same tingle same empty breeze I gotta go there n first hand experience this shit
Love you Jon and fams.
Hi, Jon!!!! How are you and Heather and your fur babies??
26:07 and the Old Reliable Coffee Pot.
As to what I was saying durring the live video
My mom was freinds with gacys ex wife. My sister and I were freinds with his ex wife's daughters. They were at my brothers first birthday party
My brothers father was offered a job by gacy. Gacy had left the message with busha. But she forgot to give Ron the message. Only remembered when she saw him on the news
If you are unaware that's how gacy made contact with a lot of his victims
I was locked up there back in 93-94
What did you do
@@jaydenjbryant8665 Nothing
@@Dmack74 that sucks, being in there for doing nothing
lol
i did 93,
Also that first ever built cell use to not have a top on it it was just bars they put a top on it after they closed it and started to let the tourist in as to not offend their sensibilities just thought you'd like to know that as well
I went today like half of the stuff is longer walk in and you can just look roofs have been caved it from 2020 winter
Hi ,From The Netherlands ,💜💕❤️👍🙏🙏🙏
Whole town of Joliet is pretty insane
These girls from my hometown tried to go there & thought they were cool shutting one of the old prison cells & taking pics. One of the girls got locked in & the other girl had to leave to go get the police/fire dept to get her out.
Didn't they use this prison as the back drop or flip location for the TV show prison break?
Am I missing something here? I've yet to see one turlet John. Where did they go? No cell has one.
