how do you know?!

went there yesterday. there are a lot of changes happening. There are bulldozers every where and stuff like that.

Yup. I knew it was going to happen this summer. Especially since those fuckers went to town on the jail

This makes me very sad. I really enjoyed that place. I still have all the hard drives around here from the computer room somewhere.

Fuck, I feel like I am losing a friend

At the end of that video you should have had something come out and scare you at the end! That would have been grand!

haha yeah i guess nobody will find the rest of the jewlery there

Went back last night to pay some respects... every single hole, door and window is now sealed, even those behind the trailers. Spent hours looking for a way in but gave up - our first fail

The entire Warden's house is gone but there is plenty of debris littered around - tread lightly, it was so dark last night that I hurtled myself over a giant pile of metal pipes and took quite a spill. Was hella loud, too, musta been goddamn hilarious to watch!

A cop was patrolling around 12:30am - we were sitting in the field overlooking the jail, shrouded by brush and saw the cop loop the road around the complex (within the fence) once or twice rather lazily before leaving.

Just an FYI for those of you interested.

Good info Ashley. Did You happen to get some pics of the remains of the Wardens house?

No I didn't, but the house is totally gone. Just a lot of pipes, wood, chunks of plastic and housing materials scattered around the flattened shallow hole where the house once stood. Bunch of dumpsters and construction equipment parked in the main courtyard, so I assume they aren't done.... :*(***

I am so terribly thankful that, upon first visiting ECJA, we took a tour through the Warden's house and I have a bunch of pictures to document the place. I even jacked some inmate paperwork that I found in one of the rooms on the first floor - it's two Store Order request lists that inmates used to fill out for the weekly trips to the convenience store - to request food, candy, cigarettes, etc. I took some photos of them just now and posted them below (click to zoom in so you can read them - neat stuff!) The one I grabbed is from my birthday (08/27/1984).

I was initially very hesitant about taking the papers home with me, and on my way out of ECJA I dropped it in the brush and almost left it there, feeling guilty about looting it - but in looking back, I am SO very glad I did. Part of me knew that house wasn't going to exist much longer.... The boxes and piles of inmate and employee paperwork scattered from the basement bar to the attic, historic documentation dating all the way back to the 1940s onward, is now nothing more than illegible shredded scraps in some garbage dump.

From now on, I'm going to start taking [small] souvenirs from all the locales I explore....
