Posted by yellow_wallpaper sentenced to 5 years in the Kingston Pennetentary for women, |
Posted by Local Hero Didn't realize they sent prisoners all the way across the country, even back then. Sidenote: Kingston pen for women became a museum shortly after its closing in 2000. The IT guy in my department used to be a carpenter out there and has lots of stories both about how nice Karla Holmolka's cell was (exercise bike and everything), and the sweet tunnel system underneath. The prison heating plant is right beside the women's prison and the steam tunnels currently in use were apparently first built to move the prisoners from one location to another underground. All hearsay, but I don't see any reason not to believe. Queen's UNiversity is currently talking with Corrections Canada to buy the prison and turn it into I don't know what. Hopefully a first year student residence ;) |

Posted by yellow_wallpaper Wow. Thats definitely enlightening, if its true. I wanna know about the cictern, too. Maybe I'll head to the BC archives tomorrow. |
Posted by yellow_wallpaper I got some photocopies from the vic archives with Dr. Lai in it, but didn't really mention a lot, just what I've read on here about the gambling, etc. I think you guys are right to head off in the cistern direction. Sadly, I think the Chinatown tunnels have been excluded thoroughly. Oh, slightly off topic... Anyone as excited about the Titanic exhibit as I am? I would LOVE to go down to that in a sub. If only I had $30 000. |
Posted by surekill I think the dude stores his motorcycles from the rental place in there. Didn't you already check that location out? The way in is still wide open. |
Posted by yellow_wallpaper I wish we had sweet mental hospitals and prisons to look around in like some of the other UERs. Although, there is the old emergency room in that one hospital. |
Posted by surekill You know, the spot dc250 posted photos of a few pages back. |
Posted by yellow_wallpaper If anybody's up for it, I think we should have a meet and search for the tunnels. |
