That stove/griddle is electric, NOT gas. That "hose/gas line" you saw was the electrical conduit/cable.

As to why the electricity is still on: In big commercial buildings, they don't actually disconnect the electricity, ever. If the tenant moves out or goes bankrupt, like a mall for instance, they simply read the meter and notate that as the "turn off meter reading" and then when a new tenant moves in, they read the meter again and notate that as the "turn on meter reading" and no one gets billed for the electricity between those two numbers, it's written off. Since this abandoned prison is right next to the new prison, it's probably still on the active account for that one anyway. And I wouldn't be surprised if the state gets a flat yearly rate for prisons, so that way the utility gets a guaranteed profit and doesn't actually have to read the meter every month.
That is not true at all.. There are tons of stories on TH-cam of malls getting their power cut off.. Do u really think the electric company is gonna pay for electricity out of the goodness of their heart if it's a co-op? That is a government building. The taxpayers in that area are paying the electricity bill for that prison every single month
@@AMiniki You would have smelled the burned gas and the room would be full of co2 making it hard to breath, but gas stoves only smell like gas when they have defective burners not burning the gas or if theres a leak.
@@robanzzz5124 Well you probably arent thinking rationally. What is worse, a gas stove that has the potential explode by one spark if it has a gas leak and likelihood of suffocation to someone that comes into said room with a gas leak? Or an Electric Stove wasting energy? Hate to break it to you but if it was a gas stove, it would be wasting gas as well as the aforementioned problems above.
16:00 That x-ray machine and the metal toilet without an outlet could be for persons that are for persons suspected of having swallowed contraband and it's still in their system.
It's not for dentistry. Well, it can be used for that, but it's about the aperture. Small aperture for teeth. And a small aperture because you only need to see a little bit of their insides -Just a stomach or colon or bit of intestine. Also it prevents irradiating your patent too much and helps protect attending staff from irradiation (the inmate isn't going to be alone in the room) if the aperture is small. It's also the only thing that makes sense. They're not doing dentistry while someone's on the throne, are they, geniuses?
@@uuuultra If you pay attention, you'll see a box with an address on it - the address of this facility. And you can clearly see the new parking lot and new facility built on the same site.
@@skinwalker69420 If that’s even true, those videos would have to be over 6-7 years ago at this point, which means absolutely nothing against the point they were making.
I mean they mentioned there's a part that's still active, and has guards parked around, even if people knew there was a way in it's still super risky to mark it with the cops around
Absolutely bonkers to me that after all these years, it didnt occur to anybody to kill the utilities to this place. Definitely makes for an interesting video.
Absolutely bonkers how paranoid they were of being seen and yet they turn all these lights on, as they explore a prison right next to an *active working prison* .
5:24 Texas's power grid couldn't keep up with the demand during the big snowstorm yet this place still had power with everything still turned on. Absolutely appalling.
It has a lot to do with the prison being built into the grid and the grid being made to be able to support what is connected to it. Also, demand during a heavy snowstorm would easily be more than normal, every day demand.
@@Jeremy_Watson Sure it was more than normal demand, which is why in times like that only essential things are supposed to be powered to reduce the power demand on the electrical grid. Having a place like that running 24/7, especially during that time, is a lot of unnecessary power that could be used elsewhere. Even if it is directly tied to the grid, it is still possible to remove it. Would cost less overtime to do so than to leave it connected.
@@mrgw98 I don't think you understand what I meant. The backflow that would result from actually cutting all of that off the grid at once would then propose a different set of issues. It's not like everything is all on at once either. However, I do wonder what the plan is as far as properly shutting these abandoned places off and demolishing them.
@@Jeremy_Watson Ah, yeah I did misunderstand that. That said, I kind of was taking that into account though when I mentioned how it would save money in the long term. Up front, there would definitely have to be some changes to the grid, not sure how major or minor, to account for the disconnection. Also, I get that it can deter scrappers. Not as many people want to try and scrap when the line they are cutting might go zap.
10:25 I'm a correctional officer and I can answer this, even though our shields in my facility are curved in a more standard way (convex), I have seen these concave shields before and I sometimes wish we had them too. They're curved that way to make it easier to hold someone up against a wall or on the ground, the shield kinda "hugs" the offender and it makes it harder for them to squeeze past when compared to a more traditional convex shield. I've always thought they looked a bit more unwieldy and less versatile than a standard shield but I've seen prisoners manage to slide off convex shields, usually requiring more than one officer to hold one inmate down for that reason. With these shields, one officer can theoretically hold down one inmate more securely and easily. Not that this is a big problem, because anytime these shields are deployed it's because there's a big code and tons of officers will be on deck with all the kit, including the dogs (in my supermax facility this is the case anyway, should also add I'm not in the US). A little more about shields in a prison, shields are used 90% of the time not in riots (again, at least this is how it is in my country, full blown riots are very rare here), but instead when dealing with prisoners who are an identified hazard when it comes to spitting, weaponising bodily fluids, throwing scalding water (or boiled jam, that shits like prison napalm), or even just a prisoner who has a tendency to throw objects at us when aggravated. I was using one a few weeks ago to talk to a prisoner through the trap in his cell door, just because he was angry and he has thrown piss through the trap at guards before, so standard procedure for him is to lower his trap, place a shield in front of it, and talk to him that way. This is the most common use case for shields that I've experienced in my time as an officer. These concave shields would be a lot more effective when used in this way than a convex one as they'd direct objects (or bodily matter) back outwards, instead of off to the side and behind the officer holding it where it could possibly splash onto other bystanding officers.
we use the convex (rounded ones) for cell extractions and the regular flat ones for crowd control and when doing a cell extraction we are going in 7 deep. one holding the shield, one person for each limb and then another recording so when we get sued its on camera that appropriate force was used. this is generally what we do in the USA
@@AlyssaSoftPaw Not too dissimilar from how we operate here, except when doing a cell extraction we only grab a shield if it's a certain classification of prisoner, typically we won't use a shield in mainstream, but in the high security units where I work we almost always will use one. It isn't policy, it's up to our sup's discretion (they'll say grab a shield 99.9% of the time). We go in as many officers deep as possible, but we are so understaffed that the number of officers that will be present can be pretty unreliable, especially on second watch, we just get as many hands on deck as are available at the time.
@@IronHorse1854 we are lucky to have cert in the us. we are a trained team who get called for stuff like that. we go all over the state, last month i did a cell extraction for a facility 4 hours from mine since their cert team was off doing shakedowns in the capitol tbh the only time we didn't use the shield for an extraction was when a minimum inmate barricaded himself in a vent and we had to pull him out.
Like they remark how smelly that maintenance office was, saw how Moldy it is and still went in there and spent considerable time in it without masks or anything.
@@Foxfire_forty-nine Yeah that’s always bothered me about them. They’re likely going to have some health issues down the road for sure. To our credit, so many of us warned them for quite a few years now. Going without a respirator is cool and all until you’re diagnosed with a long-term breathing disorder.
Yeah !! His voice and the Music set the Tone. Good Narration and Camera work also. Not to Jokey talk or such. They treat the subject with respect and seriousness for its History !!
You guys were my introduction to urban exploration videos on TH-cam. I now have many people I regularly watch but it's your content I still look forward to the most. Thank you for all the fun! ❤
@pce0513 Most definitely! All explorers should watch them. A couple more good ones are Urbex Hill (Cleveland Ohio area) and JPVideos (mostly Pennsylvania). Urbex is similar to Proper People but does it alone. JPVideos is different in that he's way more laid back. Both are well worth watching .
The large crank that you were turning in the cell block attaches to a cable that runs along above the cells and switches the cells to different opening modes. Usually from mechanical or electrical open/close, individual manual door release where you can release a single door, to group manual release where all the cell doors are free sliding where you could walk up and pull each door open. That way, during a power loss or emergency, you can still open individual cells or all cells without power.
When I was 17 my dad decided I needed to be taught a lesson, I was introduced to Pentridge Prison, Coburg, Victoria Australia. I probably needed a wake up, but drastic measures result in lifelong fear and loathing. Established in 1858, Pentridge has witnessed a lot of injustice. And also held some nasty people at bay. That's not the reason for my comment tho, this monument to British rule has been turned into a upscale community. Bluestone cells have become town houses and wine cellars.... I have no words. Love your incredible content ❤️ History could be forgotten if not for your great documentation! Love 🙏❤️
I’ve been past that prison a few times, I believe there is a shopping centre right next to it, with a bit of history about the prison. My dad and I took our time to have a read before our movie started, it was interesting, I keep forgetting that I’m like 40 minutes away from it…not to mention the old mental asylum in Bundoora…sadly it’s not longer there but if you look it up on google you might get some info.
I love this channel. You guys are always so respectful to the properties you have visited. You never show the location of where you are, how you got in and you hide the identities of any staff/patient/inmates who would've been at that facility. I only wish other urban explorers did the same!
It's a double-edged sword for me. On the one hand I want to know what and where this place is - for no reason other than simple curiousity. On the other hand, I can respect keeping places anonymous to preserve them from vandals.
I worked as a sub-contractor at our states main prison and had to go into the old main prison building to scavenge parts to repair another building. The old main was shut down about eight years ago after a very bad riot where about six people were murdered. The building was vacated and just left their untouched. That prison was a very omius place knowing people violently died in the same place I was working.
Working in the environmental remediation field for almost 30 years when you guys go to these places you should get checked once a year for lead and asbestos exposure. All that loose paint you guys are walking on the ground could have lead in it and you could be making it airborne. You should go to these places at least wear a respirator that is certified for lead or asbestos. Just a helpful tip. Oh! Also disposable suits . When you're done with them just leave them there..
@@DimJongUn I know. I commented on another video a couple years ago saying something similar. I guess they don't care. I love their videos but they should buy some suits and respirators if they're going to go into these places. They also don't understand that airborne contaminants are microscopic. They could bring that stuff home on their clothes. And regular washing machines will not take that stuff out the fibers are embedded in the clothing. They should take an asbestos awareness course in their state where they live. Once they get the information they would understand.
honestly, and I hate saying this because a relative of mine just got out of surgery for cancer, I am always waiting for a video from these guys saying "'blank' has cancer". I hope they get lucky and nothing happens but I cringe every time they say "it smells so bad in here" an then walk into the room anyways or walk right into places that might have dead air.
Awesome video as always The Proper People. You guys have nerves of steel to go into places like abandoned prisons I’d be scared that some of the doors would automatically lock and I couldn’t open them back up hats off to y’all. Thanks for taking us along on y’all’s adventures.
I can't believe the entire building isn't tagged up, awesome piece of history. I worked in original county jail in Chicago built in 1925 and closed in 2016 they knocked it down last year and found a lot of interesting items while in the process haha
It's still part of an active prison complex. Probably not many people want to go hang out in a place where there's law enforcement within spitting distance and being regularly patrolled. Plus I feel like stuff like graffiti and vandalism tends to happen at night, when you're hanging around with some chums, set some stuff on fire, drink some drinks, get your chill on, spray paint some stuff, break things.
Exactly my thought, everything else decayed already, that's incident waiting to happen. On other hand I understand someone might be even scared to turn it off, because who knows what could break if you touch something.
That was quite a kitchen, I'm not sure I've ever seen so many steam kettles in one place before. And if anyone reading this is wondering, no that stuff wouldn't be plastic these days, the trays were baking pans and the other pans held food and could have used in a steam table... I spent WAY too many years in the restaurant business!
The cinematic sequence y'all portrayed with the lighting up of the cell block was phenomenal! Literally the most beautiful shot I have seen in ages. I would love to have a print from some of those sequences. Keep it up guys! Truly the best at your craft.
Looking at these aging walls is crazy. The outside shots looking up at stone... I wonder how many people stared up at that tower and those walls knowing that's the only outside view they will ever have again.
In jail we always waited for everyone to go out in the day room. Put a blanket over the window. Only once did my bunky have to shit in front of me. I covered my head and faced the wall.
Take 1 leg completely out of your pants, people will want to get you when you are most vulnerable, with 1 leg out at least you can stand up and fight back without tripping over your pants. 👍
Great explore guys with beautiful decay, in such a vast architectural building. Sad to see such expensive kitchen equipment left there to decay could have been donated.
This reminds me of a recurring dream I used to have when the lights would dim and I couldn't move, and was being dragged slowly to a room where a spirit awaited
Interesting to see the 2003-vintage (Windows XP sticker, roundy dark-grey plastic) Dell systems in the stack at 36:08. Dates this place in some semblance of operation FAR later than I thought it would be.
The wall scribblings seem to hint at around 1999-2000 is when the place closed, but those Dell systems obviously place the shutdown date after that....
I believe this is holemsburg prison; it has been abandoned since 1995 and has been used in many movies, such as the 1995 film Condition Red, the 1996 film Up Close & Personal, the 2000 film Animal Factory, the 2009 film Law Abiding Citizen, a 2014 episode of the paranormal reality show Ghost Stalkers, the 2017 film Against the Night, and the 2017 film Death House.
RHU is for Restricted Housing Unit, like Administrative Segregation for unruly prisoners who had rules infractions. The other one with the JHU was for Juveniles. I think you figured the rest out. Seriously, with electricity still going to this place I'd love there to be an electric chair you could test out. This joint reminds me of Massachusettes and Pennsylvania. Maine, the old Thomaston State Prison (MSP) was also a wild stop. It's nickname was _Tommytown_ and they hung the Warden in an archway leading to the rock quarry.
Fantastic place, it really has it all. The variations from era to era with the different blocks.. and the contrast in ages looking out of those windows at a modern parking lot filled with cars. I find it particularly interesting that the newer blocks have aged so much more than the older ones.
Perfect timing, I've been catching up on your videos lately to settle in with some tea or wine and was just about to do so as I saw this posted. Your videos are works of art and always soothing to go along for the ride with the explorations.
Amazing video you two! I wonder if you could explore Texas most haunted place! A really nice historical hospital with tons of history! I wished ya’ll could explore the old Wilford Hall Hospital but it is being torn down on the military base. Keep up the great work you two!
🎉.love how the lights are blinking and the stove is still working. Once again Brian and Michael have posted another abandoned place of interest to their viewers the hum you hear is the transformer the plates are starting to separate because of the laquare is gone they can be re dipped in laquer and they Will quite down again
That sounds more like a contactor going bad in that control box. With many lights not working, and some glowing dimly, I would hunch that the electrical system has lost a leg of it's 3 phase system. This would cause the buzzing of a contactor directly related to power feed.
@@grandinosour I never thought of it that way luckily that place didn't have any 3 phase motor s going because back in the day 3 phase motor s were very sensitive to the loos of The 3 phase feed that was needed to keep them running properly but today's 3 phase motor s have a sensor that shut s them off when they don't have enough power going in to them
@@lizinwisconsin6728 I definitely agree with you on the square d electrical box they were the top brand for commercial.electrical equipment back in the day my Dad was a electrician back in the day when I was a young man
I really enjoyed your video. It makes me thank God for my freedom. I also especially loved seeing the electric fans in the basement and the old Westinghouse fan mounted on the wall in one of the rooms. I will be watching this video again.
The buzzing you guys are hearing inside when you first enter is the transformers which control and distribute power throughout the building. that one seems like its going out, which could be detrimental to the building's power grid.
Oh man, this video brought back some memories. I actually spent 3 years in this place. Fun fact: you filmed my cell at one point in the video! Crazy place and our corrections system could use some work, but it works for some. My cellmate there was this guy called Ricky. Nicest guy you'll ever meet. Older fella, been in there for 31 years when I arrived. If you talked to him you couldn't bring yourself to believe that he ever committed what he was charged with. We used to play tic tac toe on the wall with a piece of limestone, we even played chess a couple times! But it would take a few days to finish a game since we had to clean off the last place the piece was in and could only do so during certain hours. When the system works you don't walk out a fixed man, but a different man. I always tell people that they're talking to a completely separate person than who "I" was before. Good job on the video!
The amount of kitchen supplies just left abandoned is shocking, especially given as a chef I know there at least a couple thousands of dollars of trays, pans, and cooking utensils that chould have been saved and redistributed or even recycled.
Native Toledoian here! Everytime I see a Toledo scale in your videos it makes me happy lol 😊 the springless scale was invented here in 1897 and the Toledo Scale company opened in 1901. They became super popular so typically when you see an old model like the one at 5:07, chances are it's from Toledo!
10:26 The riot shields are shaped that way because it's more effective in forming a line. If they curved toward the officer, there'd be a sort of "buttcrack" between each shield where someone could squeeze their way through and breach the line.
You both have such a good eye for what makes great cinematography ❤ That shot of the distant lit doorways down the black passageway was phenomenal 19:27 😮😍 This entire explore was amazing, and would be awesome to see on a cinema size screen 🤩 I can't believe all the lighting was working and the cooker top still being on and hot was insane, as well as a major fire hazard 🔥 I think this is one of my favourite explores ever ❤❤❤
When you upload a video without saying where it is, I always scour the video for anything that identifies the place. I like to look up the history. I usually find it within 30 minutes. It's become a game for me. This one is elusive.
I found one clue, it had plenty of information to ID this place, took me about three time watching the video to find it, but I enjoy trying to find the location and then the history of the places too.
RHU = Restricted housing unit: A separate area within a prison or jail for residents who need additional control or punishment, or who require separate housing for safety reasons. Some prisons only have RHUs, while others have both general and restricted housing units

My great-uncle (my dad's uncle: his mom's brother) was sentenced for life for "deleting" a dude by stabby stab in a bar fight in 1940s. The family, though poor, was understandably, ashamed of him, and cut off ties after he went to prison. He lived the rest of his life and died in a place like this in my state
Glad it's still standing to document. A lot of places like this are demolished, like the Old Lehigh County PA prison it was built in the late 1700 or early 1800s they needed more space so they tore it down to build a new cheaper one in its place that has been having issues sinking. It was rumored to have sealed tunnels under the original building it was made of a Red stone that looked like a Castle. I would think it was a Historic Landmark but the county wanted the hidden tunnel under it to transport prisoners underground to the nearby courthouse. What a loss 😢
Those shields are for cell extractions and to help pin down inmates in other situations. Now days they make them with electric shock leads going thru them. Commonly known as Nova shields.
Always been a fan of the theaters, psych/hospital wards, power plants, and other rarities videos… Never so much the jail/prison ones.. BUT this one is GREAT!
4:03 Hotels and prisons provide uniforms for their employees, so they have a drycleaning setup to handle that. This is where they would have hung the cleaned and pressed guards uniforms.
Amazing video guys! That’s the facility where the state of Texas kept my father Matthew Aaron Roberts until they lethally injected him for his many crimes. Miss you Dad ❤
I see so much pain. I think the massive amount of peeling paint also reflects the decades of pain it has witnessed. Incredible how small are the rooms and how packed they might have been at some point holding up to 5 at the same time. I don't see how anyone put in there for several years could come out and integrate back into normal society.
16:10 a same bath looking device was for my broken arm before rehabilitation exercises. It makes bubbles and you relax your limb muscles in there. So it is probably not meant for a whole body.
I can tell I'm in my mid-40s now because the first thing I thought when they found the power and stove on was "I wonder how much more area residents are paying because either a) No one is paying those bills and thus customers are or b) The taxpayers are paying them and thus, customers are." 🤣
If I miss a payment on one light bill I get a cutoff notice. Meanwhile, a place that's been abandoned for decades can stay lit up like Time Square.
It's still paid for by the taxpayers.

What a waste. Here in the Philippines, if the establishment owners didn't bother paying electric bills within two months, the power would be cut off.

Those Riot Shields are Capture Shields it helps restrain inmates against a wall/floor. I didn't know those existed until now lol
Which makes it even more puzzling as to why it wasn't curved to the outside, as was stated on video...
@@JohnCompton1 Not sure what you’re saying. The shield is curved in a way to assist with directing prisoners.
@@JohnCompton1 they're curved away from the officer to pin a rioting inmate either against the wall or the floor.
I got to the same conclusion while watching the video, at 22:22 you can see a riot shield with "corrections" on it curved the other way around
Also if curved the other way, anything thrown at the guards could bounce behind the line of guards.
16:00 That x-ray machine and the metal toilet without an outlet could be for persons that are for persons suspected of having swallowed contraband and it's still in their system.
Really wouldnt be of much use with metal around - would have a lot of artifacting in the Radiograph.
That is a dental x-ray
that x-ray machine in particular is a tooth one, for finding teeth that need fixed.
It's not for dentistry. Well, it can be used for that, but it's about the aperture. Small aperture for teeth. And a small aperture because you only need to see a little bit of their insides -Just a stomach or colon or bit of intestine.

You can't just shut large areas off the grid like this when it was designed with this in mind.
Green lead paint!!! A product of years gone by.
5:24 Texas's power grid couldn't keep up with the demand during the big snowstorm yet this place still had power with everything still turned on. Absolutely appalling.
It has a lot to do with the prison being built into the grid and the grid being made to be able to support what is connected to it. Also, demand during a heavy snowstorm would easily be more than normal, every day demand.
@@Jeremy_Watson Sure it was more than normal demand, which is why in times like that only essential things are supposed to be powered to reduce the power demand on the electrical grid. Having a place like that running 24/7, especially during that time, is a lot of unnecessary power that could be used elsewhere. Even if it is directly tied to the grid, it is still possible to remove it. Would cost less overtime to do so than to leave it connected.
@@mrgw98 I don't think you understand what I meant. The backflow that would result from actually cutting all of that off the grid at once would then propose a different set of issues. It's not like everything is all on at once either. However, I do wonder what the plan is as far as properly shutting these abandoned places off and demolishing them.
@@mrgw98 forgot to mention that leaving power on will also deter people (not all) from looting copper lines as well.
@@Jeremy_Watson Ah, yeah I did misunderstand that. That said, I kind of was taking that into account though when I mentioned how it would save money in the long term. Up front, there would definitely have to be some changes to the grid, not sure how major or minor, to account for the disconnection. Also, I get that it can deter scrappers. Not as many people want to try and scrap when the line they are cutting might go zap.
Holy crap. that drawing at 26:11 of that chevy blazer is awesome. I have that same year but as a 4 door and I love it.
I had a 2004 of that body style 2 door. Loved that thing!
10:25 I'm a correctional officer and I can answer this, even though our shields in my facility are curved in a more standard way (convex), I have seen these concave shields before and I sometimes wish we had them too. They're curved that way to make it easier to hold someone up against a wall or on the ground, the shield kinda "hugs" the offender and it makes it harder for them to squeeze past when compared to a more traditional convex shield. I've always thought they looked a bit more unwieldy and less versatile than a standard shield but I've seen prisoners manage to slide off convex shields, usually requiring more than one officer to hold one inmate down for that reason. With these shields, one officer can theoretically hold down one inmate more securely and easily. Not that this is a big problem, because anytime these shields are deployed it's because there's a big code and tons of officers will be on deck with all the kit, including the dogs (in my supermax facility this is the case anyway, should also add I'm not in the US).
A little more about shields in a prison, shields are used 90% of the time not in riots (again, at least this is how it is in my country, full blown riots are very rare here), but instead when dealing with prisoners who are an identified hazard when it comes to spitting, weaponising bodily fluids, throwing scalding water (or boiled jam, that shits like prison napalm), or even just a prisoner who has a tendency to throw objects at us when aggravated. I was using one a few weeks ago to talk to a prisoner through the trap in his cell door, just because he was angry and he has thrown piss through the trap at guards before, so standard procedure for him is to lower his trap, place a shield in front of it, and talk to him that way. This is the most common use case for shields that I've experienced in my time as an officer. These concave shields would be a lot more effective when used in this way than a convex one as they'd direct objects (or bodily matter) back outwards, instead of off to the side and behind the officer holding it where it could possibly splash onto other bystanding officers.
Amazing insight ! Thanks for sharing. Who would have imagined boiling jam to use as a weapon??? Dang.
we use the convex (rounded ones) for cell extractions and the regular flat ones for crowd control
and when doing a cell extraction we are going in 7 deep. one holding the shield, one person for each limb and then another recording so when we get sued its on camera that appropriate force was used. this is generally what we do in the USA
@@AlyssaSoftPaw Not too dissimilar from how we operate here, except when doing a cell extraction we only grab a shield if it's a certain classification of prisoner, typically we won't use a shield in mainstream, but in the high security units where I work we almost always will use one. It isn't policy, it's up to our sup's discretion (they'll say grab a shield 99.9% of the time). We go in as many officers deep as possible, but we are so understaffed that the number of officers that will be present can be pretty unreliable, especially on second watch, we just get as many hands on deck as are available at the time.
@@IronHorse1854 we are lucky to have cert in the us.
we are a trained team who get called for stuff like that. we go all over the state, last month i did a cell extraction for a facility 4 hours from mine since their cert team was off doing shakedowns in the capitol
tbh the only time we didn't use the shield for an extraction was when a minimum inmate barricaded himself in a vent and we had to pull him out.
No one can touch Proper People for realism. If a place is creepy, we're gonna feel it.
They are the best!
Oh and so will they, trampling through asbestos and moldy environments without respiratory equipment or even masks.
Like they remark how smelly that maintenance office was, saw how Moldy it is and still went in there and spent considerable time in it without masks or anything.
@@Foxfire_forty-nine Yeah that’s always bothered me about them. They’re likely going to have some health issues down the road for sure. To our credit, so many of us warned them for quite a few years now.
Going without a respirator is cool and all until you’re diagnosed with a long-term breathing disorder.
Yeah !! His voice and the Music set the Tone. Good Narration and Camera work also. Not to Jokey talk or such. They treat the subject with respect and seriousness for its History !!
You guys were my introduction to urban exploration videos on TH-cam. I now have many people I regularly watch but it's your content I still look forward to the most.
Thank you for all the fun! ❤
I feel the same way. I love these guys. They're the best at what they do. Always a pleasure for me to watch them.
Found them in 2016 a hospital vid(with power still on) abadoned suburban neighborhood and a ghost road.
Yep, me too. They set the benchmark.. quite high I might add.
@pce0513 Most definitely! All explorers should watch them. A couple more good ones are Urbex Hill (Cleveland Ohio area) and JPVideos (mostly Pennsylvania). Urbex is similar to Proper People but does it alone. JPVideos is different in that he's way more laid back. Both are well worth watching .
The large crank that you were turning in the cell block attaches to a cable that runs along above the cells and switches the cells to different opening modes. Usually from mechanical or electrical open/close, individual manual door release where you can release a single door, to group manual release where all the cell doors are free sliding where you could walk up and pull each door open. That way, during a power loss or emergency, you can still open individual cells or all cells without power.
I always get excited whenever I hear that theme music. Y'all always put out some quality content.
SO DO I. I agree totally.
That one room at the beginning had a lot of fans. Interesting how things were just left on there.
When I was 17 my dad decided I needed to be taught a lesson, I was introduced to Pentridge Prison, Coburg, Victoria Australia.
I probably needed a wake up, but drastic measures result in lifelong fear and loathing.
Established in 1858, Pentridge has witnessed a lot of injustice. And also held some nasty people at bay.
That's not the reason for my comment tho, this monument to British rule has been turned into a upscale community.
Bluestone cells have become town houses and wine cellars.... I have no words.
Love your incredible content ❤️
History could be forgotten if not for your great documentation!
Love 🙏❤️
I’ve been past that prison a few times, I believe there is a shopping centre right next to it, with a bit of history about the prison.
My dad and I took our time to have a read before our movie started, it was interesting, I keep forgetting that I’m like 40 minutes away from it…not to mention the old mental asylum in Bundoora…sadly it’s not longer there but if you look it up on google you might get some info.
I love this channel. You guys are always so respectful to the properties you have visited. You never show the location of where you are, how you got in and you hide the identities of any staff/patient/inmates who would've been at that facility. I only wish other urban explorers did the same!
It's a double-edged sword for me. On the one hand I want to know what and where this place is - for no reason other than simple curiousity. On the other hand, I can respect keeping places anonymous to preserve them from vandals.
@@mikeroamsreddeer4858 you could easiliy google "closed prisons near pennsylvania" and find it.
I worked as a sub-contractor at our states main prison and had to go into the old main prison building to scavenge parts to repair another building. The old main was shut down about eight years ago after a very bad riot where about six people were murdered. The building was vacated and just left their untouched. That prison was a very omius place knowing people violently died in the same place I was working.
Is it the one in new Mexico??
@@JohnHeede-fh1fn 33 died at the Nm riot
Working in the environmental remediation field for almost 30 years when you guys go to these places you should get checked once a year for lead and asbestos exposure. All that loose paint you guys are walking on the ground could have lead in it and you could be making it airborne. You should go to these places at least wear a respirator that is certified for lead or asbestos. Just a helpful tip. Oh! Also disposable suits . When you're done with them just leave them there..
They hardly ever wear masks, it's going to come back and haunt them at some point unfortunately
@@DimJongUn I know. I commented on another video a couple years ago saying something similar. I guess they don't care. I love their videos but they should buy some suits and respirators if they're going to go into these places. They also don't understand that airborne contaminants are microscopic. They could bring that stuff home on their clothes. And regular washing machines will not take that stuff out the fibers are embedded in the clothing. They should take an asbestos awareness course in their state where they live. Once they get the information they would understand.
Exactly. Because asbestos can lead to mesothelioma
honestly, and I hate saying this because a relative of mine just got out of surgery for cancer, I am always waiting for a video from these guys saying "'blank' has cancer". I hope they get lucky and nothing happens but I cringe every time they say "it smells so bad in here" an then walk into the room anyways or walk right into places that might have dead air.
Right
Awesome video as always The Proper People. You guys have nerves of steel to go into places like abandoned prisons I’d be scared that some of the doors would automatically lock and I couldn’t open them back up hats off to y’all. Thanks for taking us along on y’all’s adventures.
Bryan & Michael: you have the most relaxing voices... I could listen to both of you for hours 💗💗
I can't believe the entire building isn't tagged up, awesome piece of history. I worked in original county jail in Chicago built in 1925 and closed in 2016 they knocked it down last year and found a lot of interesting items while in the process haha
Got a video on the stuff they found?
It's still part of an active prison complex. Probably not many people want to go hang out in a place where there's law enforcement within spitting distance and being regularly patrolled. Plus I feel like stuff like graffiti and vandalism tends to happen at night, when you're hanging around with some chums, set some stuff on fire, drink some drinks, get your chill on, spray paint some stuff, break things.
@@mdemers767that didn't really deter them from turning on all the lights, being next to an active prison that has patrols cruising by right outside
@@Foxfire_forty-nine - It was daytime, so a bit more light I don't think would be really noticed, and they were only on for a short time.
You probably should've turned that stove off or tip someone anonymously there is a still a gas stove on. That is a fire hazard waiting to happen.
Exactly my thought, everything else decayed already, that's incident waiting to happen. On other hand I understand someone might be even scared to turn it off, because who knows what could break if you touch something.
@@DreitTheDarkDragon Bob turned it off when he went.
Thanks Bob - probably saved them an explosion...
@@sgtscowl Who's Bob? Good videos like here?
*Deadpool "I know what you're thinking, "Did I leave the stove on?".
i been watching you guys for years and i appreciate how respectful you are
Seeing those metal trays stacked so nicely made me really happy. That must have been a good person in charge of that area.
That was quite a kitchen, I'm not sure I've ever seen so many steam kettles in one place before. And if anyone reading this is wondering, no that stuff wouldn't be plastic these days, the trays were baking pans and the other pans held food and could have used in a steam table... I spent WAY too many years in the restaurant business!
The cinematic sequence y'all portrayed with the lighting up of the cell block was phenomenal! Literally the most beautiful shot I have seen in ages. I would love to have a print from some of those sequences. Keep it up guys! Truly the best at your craft.
I fuckin love you guys you're amazing at what you do, no over the top bs speaking, no mid point sponsorship segment and such beautiful camera work
Happy Easter guys, thanks for the video
Looking at these aging walls is crazy. The outside shots looking up at stone... I wonder how many people stared up at that tower and those walls knowing that's the only outside view they will ever have again.
that grill still being hot is nuts
Noone noticed.
These videos could about serve as scenes for LIFE AFTER PEOPLE, especially the older setting ones.
I've never been in prison. But I would imagine having to take a dump in front of a random cellmate would be the 2nd worst part of being incarcerated.
In that joint that would be window front shopping for your cellist next wife
@@rflats771 The more I think about it, I'd probably just Epstein myself the first day.
eh, you get over it when you have to shit. lol
In jail we always waited for everyone to go out in the day room. Put a blanket over the window. Only once did my bunky have to shit in front of me. I covered my head and faced the wall.
Take 1 leg completely out of your pants, people will want to get you when you are most vulnerable, with 1 leg out at least you can stand up and fight back without tripping over your pants. 👍

Great explore guys with beautiful decay, in such a vast architectural building. Sad to see such expensive kitchen equipment left there to decay could have been donated.
This reminds me of a recurring dream I used to have when the lights would dim and I couldn't move, and was being dragged slowly to a room where a spirit awaited
That's wild

Interesting to see the 2003-vintage (Windows XP sticker, roundy dark-grey plastic) Dell systems in the stack at 36:08. Dates this place in some semblance of operation FAR later than I thought it would be.
The wall scribblings seem to hint at around 1999-2000 is when the place closed, but those Dell systems obviously place the shutdown date after that....
Who's to say those aren't old computers from the newer prison buildings stashed there?
I believe this is holemsburg prison; it has been abandoned since 1995 and has been used in many movies, such as the 1995 film Condition Red, the 1996 film Up Close & Personal, the 2000 film Animal Factory, the 2009 film Law Abiding Citizen, a 2014 episode of the paranormal reality show Ghost Stalkers, the 2017 film Against the Night, and the 2017 film Death House.
RHU is for Restricted Housing Unit, like Administrative Segregation for unruly prisoners who had rules infractions. The other one with the JHU was for Juveniles. I think you figured the rest out. Seriously, with electricity still going to this place I'd love there to be an electric chair you could test out. This joint reminds me of Massachusettes and Pennsylvania. Maine, the old Thomaston State Prison (MSP) was also a wild stop. It's nickname was _Tommytown_ and they hung the Warden in an archway leading to the rock quarry.
...test out? I'd rather them both live. xP

@@carystorm1863 testing an electric chair
Why would you want to "test out" an electric chair?
@@mikeroamsreddeer4858 to see if it works, of course.
Fantastic place, it really has it all. The variations from era to era with the different blocks.. and the contrast in ages looking out of those windows at a modern parking lot filled with cars. I find it particularly interesting that the newer blocks have aged so much more than the older ones.
The older ones were built to last. Not so anymore.
Perfect timing, I've been catching up on your videos lately to settle in with some tea or wine and was just about to do so as I saw this posted. Your videos are works of art and always soothing to go along for the ride with the explorations.
I was just thinking about how awesome it would be if a video dropped and here it is!
One of your better ones. No privacy in this place even doing a crap. Bet this is the quietist it's ever been. Great job guys
I'm always surprised at how much they leave behind.
Indeed. Sometimes, it's mind-boggling.
Don't be. USA have been doing it for 80 years around the world.
@@damienomen68who hurt you
Amazing video you two! I wonder if you could explore Texas most haunted place! A really nice historical hospital with tons of history! I wished ya’ll could explore the old Wilford Hall Hospital but it is being torn down on the military base. Keep up the great work you two!
🎉.love how the lights are blinking and the stove is still working. Once again Brian and Michael have posted another abandoned place of interest to their viewers the hum you hear is the transformer the plates are starting to separate because of the laquare is gone they can be re dipped in laquer and they Will quite down again
That sounds more like a contactor going bad in that control box.
With many lights not working, and some glowing dimly, I would hunch that the electrical system has lost a leg of it's 3 phase system. This would cause the buzzing of a contactor directly related to power feed.
@@grandinosour I never thought of it that way luckily that place didn't have any 3 phase motor s going because back in the day 3 phase motor s were very sensitive to the loos of The 3 phase feed that was needed to keep them running properly but today's 3 phase motor s have a sensor that shut s them off when they don't have enough power going in to them
No wonder everything electrical is still working. It's SquareD--my dad worked there for 35 years! Quality back then.
@@lizinwisconsin6728 I definitely agree with you on the square d electrical box they were the top brand for commercial.electrical equipment back in the day my Dad was a electrician back in the day when I was a young man
Best urbex explore iv seen in a very long time from anyone. Great one guys
You guys always do such great videos! I wanna go here seems so epic! 😮
I really enjoyed your video. It makes me thank God for my freedom. I also especially loved seeing the electric fans in the basement and the old Westinghouse fan mounted on the wall in one of the rooms. I will be watching this video again.
The buzzing you guys are hearing inside when you first enter is the transformers which control and distribute power throughout the building. that one seems like its going out, which could be detrimental to the building's power grid.
yep power being phased down. I wouldnt be touching any of those wires or switches. I know what 240 hit feels like. Not fun.
Oh man, this video brought back some memories. I actually spent 3 years in this place. Fun fact: you filmed my cell at one point in the video! Crazy place and our corrections system could use some work, but it works for some. My cellmate there was this guy called Ricky. Nicest guy you'll ever meet. Older fella, been in there for 31 years when I arrived. If you talked to him you couldn't bring yourself to believe that he ever committed what he was charged with. We used to play tic tac toe on the wall with a piece of limestone, we even played chess a couple times! But it would take a few days to finish a game since we had to clean off the last place the piece was in and could only do so during certain hours. When the system works you don't walk out a fixed man, but a different man. I always tell people that they're talking to a completely separate person than who "I" was before. Good job on the video!
What state is this in?
thank you, you guys are awesome!
Incredible!! Thankyou for sharing. From Queensland Australia🇦🇺
The amount of kitchen supplies just left abandoned is shocking, especially given as a chef I know there at least a couple thousands of dollars of trays, pans, and cooking utensils that chould have been saved and redistributed or even recycled.
Native Toledoian here! Everytime I see a Toledo scale in your videos it makes me happy lol 😊 the springless scale was invented here in 1897 and the Toledo Scale company opened in 1901. They became super popular so typically when you see an old model like the one at 5:07, chances are it's from Toledo!
This was an awesome explore video. Crazy how the place still had power.
one of you guys' best finds to date. so insane.
10:26 The riot shields are shaped that way because it's more effective in forming a line. If they curved toward the officer, there'd be a sort of "buttcrack" between each shield where someone could squeeze their way through and breach the line.
Plus if you wanted to sort of "grab and push" an inmate out of the way, having a concave shape would make that easier, I would think.
@@jimthesoundman8641 Also a good point.
I always love a good "buttcrack" analogy lol.
@@fontana101 Who doesn't? 😂

You both have such a good eye for what makes great cinematography ❤ That shot of the distant lit doorways down the black passageway was phenomenal 19:27 😮😍 This entire explore was amazing, and would be awesome to see on a cinema size screen 🤩 I can't believe all the lighting was working and the cooker top still being on and hot was insane, as well as a major fire hazard 🔥 I think this is one of my favourite explores ever ❤❤❤
When you upload a video without saying where it is, I always scour the video for anything that identifies the place. I like to look up the history. I usually find it within 30 minutes. It's become a game for me. This one is elusive.
I saw a Texas sticker at one point.
What ones can you think of that you cracked easily?

I found one clue, it had plenty of information to ID this place, took me about three time watching the video to find it, but I enjoy trying to find the location and then the history of the places too.
@@gregmacd2829 So what state is this in?
RHU = Restricted housing unit: A separate area within a prison or jail for residents who need additional control or punishment, or who require separate housing for safety reasons. Some prisons only have RHUs, while others have both general and restricted housing units

Bryan & Michael are so intelligent before exploring abandon buildings before making wicked videos!!! I think that's totally awesome!!!😂🤣😁😍
Another historic prison with beautiful decay❤❤
Glad it's still standing to document. A lot of places like this are demolished, like the Old Lehigh County PA prison it was built in the late 1700 or early 1800s they needed more space so they tore it down to build a new cheaper one in its place that has been having issues sinking. It was rumored to have sealed tunnels under the original building it was made of a Red stone that looked like a Castle. I would think it was a Historic Landmark but the county wanted the hidden tunnel under it to transport prisoners underground to the nearby courthouse. What a loss 😢
I'm surprised they haven't tried to sell some of the stuff in that kitchen. Used kitchen equipment is usually fairly lucrative.
Another fascinating video. Thank you.

I was thinking this one would be great for a movie location.. they wouldn't have to rehab the whole place, just certain areas.
This is the most incredible exploration yet!!
Those shields are for cell extractions and to help pin down inmates in other situations. Now days they make them with electric shock leads going thru them. Commonly known as Nova shields.

Thanks for making these videos. They're very interesting.
I'd be worried about stepping in an electrified puddle or touching a live wire in a place like this.
True, but their bodies were installed with GFCI circuits, so they’re essentially immune to electrical shorts and overloads.
Always been a fan of the theaters, psych/hospital wards, power plants, and other rarities videos… Never so much the jail/prison ones.. BUT this one is GREAT!
4:03 Hotels and prisons provide uniforms for their employees, so they have a drycleaning setup to handle that. This is where they would have hung the cleaned and pressed guards uniforms.

With the amount of lights on in that prison, I am thinking that it used to be owned by Tom Bodett (the Motel 6 guy). LOL

Your little intro melody gets stuck in my head for days.
I see so much pain. I think the massive amount of peeling paint also reflects the decades of pain it has witnessed. Incredible how small are the rooms and how packed they might have been at some point holding up to 5 at the same time. I don't see how anyone put in there for several years could come out and integrate back into normal society.
deterrence used to be a thing :/
And how much pain or death did the inmates inflict on the public to be incarcerated there?.? Save your sympathy for the innocent.
@@tomrogers9467 right answer :P
16:10 a same bath looking device was for my broken arm before rehabilitation exercises. It makes bubbles and you relax your limb muscles in there. So it is probably not meant for a whole body.
I can tell I'm in my mid-40s now because the first thing I thought when they found the power and stove on was "I wonder how much more area residents are paying because either a) No one is paying those bills and thus customers are or b) The taxpayers are paying them and thus, customers are." 🤣
