Lincoln Heights Jail

I haven't found any forum posts about this location yet, though I know members of this forum have visited it. Apologies if this is a repost but...

I made a go at it tonight, checking the perimeter carefully, and could not identify a good access point that did not require B&E.

I did find a bad access point, an unlocked door under floodlights and the full view of the City Works maintenance crew based in the annex building immediately to the south.

Having already made the drive out, I decided to walk boldly up to the door and walk right in, waving to the work crew that looked up at me.

I shot some basic images at the south end of the 1st floor for about 5 minutes, then left before the City Works crew began growing question marks on their faces.

If anyone has a better suggestion for the future feel free to private message me. But, for now a rather ugly set shot in haste:

Hahahaha! Awesome! Can you re visit possibly on a sunday night when the work crew isn't on shift? Or is someone always there? That looks like an excellent place and good work on just going right in! That made the story!

Lots of people from here have been there many times. Last time a group of us went during the shopper meet, we couldnt get in.

Well, my visit was on a Sunday night unfortunately. I waited until the crew was down to only 3; when I arrived, more like 12 were working on trucks but most eventually got in the trucks and drove away.

I'm not sure what their schedule is, could be broad daylight would make a better time to visit.

Thanks to Dave and 1337 for the info. I'll make another try of it this week.

Made a followup visit tonight. This time the Transit Yard was closed down, however their gate to the street was locked tight (with coiled razorwire along the tops).

However with a little creativity you can access other points on the perimeter further along.

If you go in the near future, look for an orange traffic cone and you'll find where a door was left unlocked for you.

I fully explored the basement level; there is quite a bit of mold, particulate dust and what looked like asbestos (i didn't get close enough to confirm). In hindsight I would have used a respirator.

Here's the album:

If we want to do a UER trip this week, let me know. I'd be happy to go back again. I can do anytime up until Saturday, but my weekend's already booked solid. Of course, you could all go back without me if that works better ;)

If you plan a trip, private message me and I can share some relevant information if you're interested in hearing it.

Shockwave, Dave, others, feel free to chime in if interested -- I for one am, and Dragon seems to be down.

We could roll Linda Vista into it too; they're pretty close to each other.

Awesome set, Dave! those are truly great

Why don't the rest of us talk on private message and we can work out a day/time?

Dragonminded and I are already talking on message and have a time that would work for both of us. Dave, I'll msg you. Shockwave, you in?
