    Love watching your videos! This is the Old Boys School. It closed less than 10 yrs ago. There are a lot of news documents of how a lot of the boys were abused & killed out there several years ago. The houses were used for employees.

    The Buckhead Ridge Moose Lodge back in the day used to be called the Fin and Feather Bar. Okeechobee County shut down liquor sales at midnight and everyone would head out to Glades County to shut her down until 2am.
    Highway 78 was our route heading into Fort Myers and the old Lee Civic Center on 78 and 31. One of my most memorable concerts I saw there I was 15 and front row standing in front of Eddie Van Halen on the 5150 tour. I saw the Bon Jovi Slippery when Wet tour there as well.

    I love your videos.
    So I work for a major medical laboratory and I go to Okeechobee every once in awhile and I actually had to come to this prison pre-covid, totally got lost. Finally found my way to this gate I actually was buzzed in to that guard shack. It was still open and operating only a few years ago, at least that section. I was wondering what those houses were on the way in. Thank you for clarifying that 👍👍 oh and I had to wait for the nurse to come from the other side of the campus. So wow, I didn't know they closed it down.
    I remember there was people living in the house around the bend as you were going toward the guard house section and what upset me was the fact that he had these dogs in very small cages...😢😢
    So there were people living there up until just a few years ago. I wonder where they went

    Hello there Jay! Abe here! So many years ago (appx.37 or 38 years ago) I used to travel from Miami to Immokalee to hang out with friends and would take Hwy 41 (Tamiami Trail) to Hwy 29 north to Immokalee. I would almost always travel at night or very early morning hours before sunrise and would pass what I remember to be a prison work camp probably low security, anyhow it always looked quite creepy with few lights and foggy,and surrounded by desolate swamp. After many years of not traveling in the area I later discovered the facility had been shut down and abandoned. I have a lingering curiosity of why it ended up abandoned and forgotten. Maybe you could look into it if you're ever in the area,it seems like a place and story that as they say would be right up your alley! Just so you can locate it travel along Hwy 29 between Copeland and Immokalee.
    Well take care!
    P.S. I'm an avid follower and love your channel!

    Tampa Jay That type of fencing is funny, if lets say one strand of same wire was over time degraded and broke lets say about 4 feet apart and fell away, Bingo the zipper is open. and as each wire interlaces with the next when one is missing it becomes a slot. (ex prison maintenance man told me that one.)

      That’s very fascinating. I didn’t even notice that. Thank you.

      @@TampaJay I never did either until I was told about it. It's not really something Someone would think of. That's the design flaw in that as only one wire removed will open a giant slot in the fence! There's a high probability there's a few spots already in the fence like this, it being old and not maintained.
