Abandoned Kingston Prison For Women Urban Exploring
A complete Urban Exploring gallery from a the abandoned Prison for Women in Kingston, Ontario. The Prison For Women in Kingston, Ontario, was a Correctional Service of Canada prison for women that functioned at a maximum security level from 1934 to 2000. A notable inmate was Karla Homolka, the wife of Paul Bernardo.
The very first female inmates arrived on January 24, 1934. Before this all maximum security female prisoners were housed in the Female Department of the max security Kingston Penitentiary located directly across the street.
Beginning in 1995, female inmates in Prison for Women were gradually transferred to other federal correctional institutions. On May 8, 2000, the last female inmate was transferred from Kingston P4W.
In January 2008, Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario took ownership of the former site of the Prison for Women. The property is 8.1 acres (33,000 m2) in size. The university archives were originally slated to be housed there once renovations were completed, but this is no longer the case.
In November 2017 my friend DDoggVlogs posted some photos of an abandoned prison and I recognized it right away as one that I've wanted to explore for a few years. Back in 2013 my friend and fellow Explorer JERM IX explored the Kingston Prison for Women and I recognized the location right away from reading his post.
RiddimRyder, Carlo Paolozza and I reached out to DDogg and asked if he would like to host us for the weekend and take us to see it, he gladly agreed and the plan was set. We would spend Friday night at the Rockwood Asylum for the Criminally Insane up the road and after a fun night and equally fun morning we moved onto the prison to explore by day and by night.
Day two of our 48 hour exploring residence took us to the now abandoned and badly decaying Prison for Women, another one with stories that would shock many. We would spend hours by day and by night exploring the many hallways, cells and deep deep tunnels of this institution.
Later in the evening we were joined by YouTube sensation Moe Sargi who came to explore with us and discover the secrets that lie deep underneath the city as we spent hours beneath the streets in the long labyrinth of tunnels that connect this institution with many others.
The decay inside is amazing and the natural light from the many large windows is just awesome. I didn't want to ever leave this place, as funny as that sounds given the type of place this is. We went down into the basement and found steam tunnels that went on and on and on for miles, breaking out into different directions at a few spots. We had really hoped that these tunnels would take us into the larger facility across the street, but sadly that would not be the case.
