Shadowed Cells Montana’s Prison of the Damned
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- We were fortunate enough to take a deeper look inside the old Montana State Prison, with its hidden tunnels, shadowed cells and solitary confinement.
Constructed in 1871 by the convicts themselves, this was the first territorial prison in the USA. Trap doors lead to a warren of dark, haunting surveillance tunnels. The chilling black box cells where inmates were locked for up to 10 days. A mattress, wool blanket and a honey bucket were the only items provided! What other secrets does this foreboding prison hold?

Another awesome adventure with my pin and coffee ☕ cool place
Glad you enjoyed it Raymond. Enjoy your coffee
@@PinInTheAtlas always
You certainly provided a lot interesting facts. Gramma Candy
We spent all day there filming. It was a lot of hard work but heaps of fun.
As a Montanan, I absolutely love seeing anything about my gorgeous state being talked about.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We absolutely love Montana. The people, the scenery, the history. We have more videos to come so hope you join us.
We post new content every Tuesday. See you soon
Yaba daba doo 😊 What a Pin! No electric chair? Bet if there was a big spider on top of that wall, there would be no bad knees or fear of heights . Thanks.
🤣yep for sure 🕷️would make him run.
This is why I love you two, you are so sweet you talk your way into secret places. Love it.
We do our best 🤣 thank you
Great job on this one guys 👏 the ending wasn't cut off either! Was hoping to hear more about the Sally Port though.... 😂
Ha haha. I think I put the link in. Will need to check.
Glad you enjoyed it. Miss you guys.
Love to see an ghost tour in this place ! Great video guys love it !
Now that would have been interesting and spooky 👻
This was such a cool place to explore. The prisoners artwork on the prison walls was awesome. Must be an amazing place to work in. Would love to see the mugshots etc. no way you would catch me walking on the perimeter walls. Thanks you for this Cool look into an old prison guys.
Thanks Bernardo. We got to see areas that are off limits to the public. They do ghost hunts there too. Now that would be interesting!
See you next week.
My girlfriend got pinched in max security in the back cell.
@@brandonostermiller3771 I think you showed us that clip Brandon
That place would definitely make me think twice about a life of crime. Very forboding. Thanks for the view of life on the inside.
Very impressive place Lesley we really enjoyed our day there. So glad you joined us. See you next week.
Great job on the prison tour.👍 The solitary confinement hall was so creepy! I couldn't walk that walk either, especially during the winter ice & snow times. And I agree, women are smarter than men😁 Thanks guys💯
This place was absolutely amazing Lisa! Would have loved to have been able to get into those tunnels, that might have been even more creepy. So glad you enjoyed this video and when Steven does something silly he smiles and says yeah yeah I know women are smarter!
Prisons - such interesting places. And, you 2 have covered some. This one's really good! Thanks! Appreciate your narrative and filming. Bon Voyage!
We enjoyed exploring and filming this one. One of our favourite explores so far plus we got to see parts that most visitors don’t see. Glad you enjoyed it David.
very cool...explore!!!
Thanks Kevin. See you next week for another 📍
Thank you! I enjoyed the in depth tour! All the Best! Regards from Ody Slim
Hi Ody! So glad you enjoyed this adventure. We really loved filming this one!
Very interesting, thanks.
You’re welcome David.
What a place! Makes you appreciate your freedom, by not being on the inside! Thanks for the tour!
You’re welcome Kerry. Incredible place and just a little creepy.
See you next week.
Just wondering: did you just turn up there and mentioned you would like to make a video, or did you have to put in paperwork etc?
We contacted them prior to make sure. There’s normally paperwork but they waived it for us.
Fascinating video 🇨🇦
Thank you
Glad you had a guide. Great tour.
Actually we didn’t. Only the parts that Addison is in. The rest of the time we were left to our own devices. Glad you enjoyed it Arleen.
Awesome tour guys
Glad you came along with us Edward. It certainly is an interesting place.
Loved that place! May have seen it in the 70s. Is there a corn palace in that town? Haha. Steve on the toilet! Good one. I can see why that guy liked working there. One time I got arrested an had to work for the county, but i got to pick where. I chose the old folks home. They thought i was crazy because nobody wanted to work there. I had so much fun! It got over to fast. They gave me credits for a good job an i think i was only there 2 weeks. Got tore down after that an i was so happy i worked there. Is there a corn palace in that town? Get to go camping with the girls this week. So excited! 4 days. It's been 2 years i think. Loved the lady in the mail room. Someone had fun making her i bet. Those shoes with the cement where like the shoes i have from a old folks home/insane asylum an jail. But mine don't have cement an i found them in the jail closet with the mans name pinned on them. Very cool video! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Chris. We had fun filming. Took us about 7 hours. What a great place. No, no corn palace in Deer Lodge at least not that we know of.
Have fun camping with the girls. See you next week!
Hey well done again you two and it was great to see much of the prison and the conditions the prisoners were kept in, keep it up and keep safe Cheers
Thank you. We really enjoyed filming this one.
I remember how "Gly" and "Mr. M" would joke about the "Nuggets" in the "Honey Buckets" in Mines.
Yep they sure did. At least the miners didn’t throw the contents. At least I hope not!
I self-toured the Deer Lodge Prison in the mid-90's, along with a car museum that was adjacent. The prison was well worth the stop during my trip through the area.
We agree. It is an amazing place. Did you notice any changes since your visit?
Very interesting video, looks like it could still be used.
Thanks Brian.
WOW having those tunnels, so the guards could have access to every part of the prison, seems pretty advanced. I wonder if that's more common than many of us are aware.🤔 Yeah, what a gruesome, grim place an abandoned facility like that is. The cells did remind me of Alcatraz, as well.
Thank you, for taking us with you, Andrea and Steven. That must have been quite a daunting experience. It waz extremely interesting. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of our favourite explores to date Rhonda. It was a great place and thoroughly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.
Would have loved to explore more of those tunnels!
OOPS... was 🙃
You seriously need to put a headphone warning on this video. I've got a speaker hooked up to my tablet and I jumped if it was right in my ears I would probably peel them off.
@@olliespackrt5763 🤣
Very interesting. I wonder if there are facilities like that today anywhere. They were very strict in that prison; I don't think they are strict enough today. I would have written a comment on the last video but my computer was acting up. I tried 3 times. I gave up. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. Drive safe and be careful. 🥰💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Well today they have tv and 3 meals a day but I still wouldn’t want to be a “guest”.
Glad you found our explore interesting. We certainly enjoyed filming there and would recommend a visit if you’re in the area.
Prison Toilets are notorious for the Seat being built into the Rim of the Toilet Bowl, sume parks use similar fixtures, I call them "Person Style."
You two found a gem of very important history location. That prison is very haunted especially the gallows and turkey Pete s cell. You need to go there durning the night,, very creepy.
We would love to go back for a ghost hunt someday for sure have to talk with Addison about that one!
@@PinInTheAtlas it’s worth it. I frequent Montana often
Thanks Steve and Andrea, the old state prison is certainly a grim place (or correctional facility as Americans euphemistically call them nowadays). Reminds me of Dirty Harry at Alcatraz. I don't think I would have been a naughty boy if I had to wear concrete boots! You guys certainly get about - Deer Lodge is not much over 100 miles from the Candian border
We throughly enjoyed this explore. We spent about 7 hours there filming. What a great place. Glad you enjoyed it Brian. See you next week.
That tunnel from the tunnel actually went up and over to the tower port in the showers for the guards. The rail in max security in the back two cells were for the bad of the bad.
This place was truly amazing we still talk about it!
Alcatraz had dungions with rats and old brick lined drains that you could wiggle out from to the outide
Group Bathing/Shower facilities in Persons are notorious for "Buh-Buh's Love Life!"
Yep. Don’t reach for the soap!
Did you know anything about the mirror across from tower 7. It's on top of the entrance to the admin building.
Oh no. We didn’t even see it!!!
Once they came through that tower they had to stand in that spot while the key was returned. The guards up in the tower looked at that mirror to make sure they didn't move. After all said and done that prisoner went into admin to get processed.
@@brandonostermiller3771 didn’t know that! That’s a place we’d love to come back to at night
Interesting explore! Looked like a good reason to stay within the law! I can imagine that place being quite the icebox during the winter months! So ... do you know if any movies have been filmed there? The The Shawshank Redemption was filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory. It's hard to imagine men and women at the same prison ... seems like a recipe for trouble!
Not sure about any movies Norm. We’ve been to the Ohio one before we were filming but did write a travel blog.
I haven't been to the one a Mansfield yet. I always seemed to be there at the wrong time of day. There were a few shots of the prison there that reminded me of the prison scenes in Reacher.@@PinInTheAtlas
@@normstephens8354 where’s that one?
The Margrave prison in Reacher is actually the Kingston Penitentiary, a former maximum-security prison in Kingston, Ontario@@PinInTheAtlas
I sent a link earlier, but I'm guessing TH-cam moved it to the junk bin, but it looks like there were about five movies filmed at that prison in Montana. I can't say I've seen any of them though.
Runaway Train (1985) R | 111 min | Action, Adventure, Drama. 7.2. ...
Diggstown (1992) R | 98 min | Drama, Sport.
Fast-Walking (1982) R | 115 min | Drama. ...
The Real Thing (1996) R | 89 min | Action, Crime.
Pellett ??
Prisons are imposing because you're not supposed to be able to escape from them.
So a "Trip to the Loo" in the original prison meant "Not mixing up your Buckets!"
In Alcatraz, the Prisoners would use the Toilets an an Intercom System. They'd drain the Toilet Water into the Sink and use it to communicate between cells, they called it "The Potty Line."
Really? Never knew that about Alcatraz. How would they drain the loo though or are you jesting?
@@PinInTheAtlas
I learned it from an Alcatraz Tour Guide. I'm guessing either the drainage for the sink was separate from the drainage from the toilets, or the trap in the toilet bowl holds water in the bowl and there's often little or no water in the sewer line, this helps provide the suction that aids in Draining the Crap out
I remember laying this story to my dad who was into Ham Radio and he made jokes about "Your signal is getting interrupted but Flushing Interference!.
@@craigbrowning9448 that is so interesting. Amazing what they think of in the tank!
They need a little WD-40 on those iron doors. A little pencil lead will help the key turn in the lock.
🤣 adds to the creepiness of the place Diane.
*That's not a jail, its a prison.*
my late husband retired from the arizona state prison in florence, arizona...he always said that the womens unit was the most challenging of all...would rather work any other unit but there
Totally understand that, I’m sure he had lots of stories. We heard a few while here and it didn’t sound any fun to us!
he was with the prison for over 25 yrs...worked all units including womens, supermax and death row...he was one of the officers that was called in to hunt for the dismembered parts after the moorman murder...i remember that night like yesterday@@PinInTheAtlas
I believe a bazooca was shot in that tower wall
It was the furthest tower. We did get up there but we’d been filming for 7 hours and all our batteries were dead.
@@PinInTheAtlas oh I knew it was around there. So much history, so little time
The brick building is quite pretty I think, however, the inside is not. It is amazing how many people break the laws and wind up in a prison, maybe a video like yours needs to be shown to the grade school kids to maybe deter them from this life. And I agree Andrea, women are smarter.
Now that’s an idea Lorna. And yes we certainly are 🤣
What an enteresting, fascinating and scarey place.I loved your reason why there were less women in the prison😂👍❤️
😂 yes of course. Ask any woman and they’ll agree 👍. Glad you enjoyed it. See you next week for another adventure.
Creepy old prison. Haunted most likely especially at night.
Apparently so. They organise ghost hunting tours too and paranormal investigators go in.
@@PinInTheAtlas No Thanks.
@@michelleharrell8452 🤣
There is a hole in a tower from shooting a rocket during the riot of 59.
We saw that. Our cameras ran out of batteries! We were there for about 7 hours!
2:06. *You litterally just showed a picture with plumbing then said they had none. What do you call that then????*
One area didn’t have plumbing when it was built. The newer building did as we explained in the video.
Did you check out the gallows
Unfortunately not. There’s so much to see there. Could have spent another day there
@@PinInTheAtlas A MUST GO BACK THERE. ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT
@@tinadelwiche416 they do ghost tours there. I can send you the info
@@PinInTheAtlas I already have done that. I was just passing information to you s
Could Steve be a guard at a women s prison or would be out smarted😂😂
He would definitely be in trouble with that one! 😂
@@PinInTheAtlas ditto
Turkey pete
An interesting character. Could have done a video just about him!
@@PinInTheAtlas yes,, he made his own history
It's not uncommon for prison being haunted and have evil spirits in the prison. As for women being smarter than men. I let you know; that I'm a legend in my own mind.🤭
They do organise ghost hunts there. That would have been fun!
