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.

[Music]
what you're looking at here is called
the suicide bar suicide Cady

suicide or pushing somebody down so this
here protects from any fights breaking
out
[Music]
that's a pilot user safety
and never be too safe
everything's green check what's happened
eyes everything green
besides even bigger more room
[Music]
this is the other side of my
marcelles
[Music]
big windows lots of light this is the
site water
because if you're in this cell right
here
look outside and there's water over
there so that's pretty place
cell number 14 nice and pink there's
your sink that's where your toilet was
nice little spot to store your stuff
pictures right another light
[Music]
this is one of those places there very
few people have been to or if they have

wonder who's in there what they do love
to know those stories cell number nine
cell number 10
never get my camera before
urbex Carlos deals it sorry I'll be back
you got a sink cupboard small spot for a
bed here's another one different kind of
different type of toilet porcelain
toilet stainless steel
we're all different over here it's
pretty cool that's me there's a little
baby pink toilet and a little swamp
porcelain so they're all different for
some reason and then here's another one
of those shower it's crazy so what we're
looking at a miss side is the other side
over there all the cells were pretty
much the same but over here different
got some some paint ball here looks like
somebody was playing paintball here
that'd be fun a played paintballing here
this sell yours pretty cool it's got
door a little window a little window in
the door and then when you go inside
she's got a little shelf and a toilet
the sink this beds must have been small
Hey
so these ones are kind of all the same
but then when you get down to the end
here then you walk right into rhythm
right or shot so I'm guessing that each
one the end is like a community shower
right not a cell yeah
[Music]
then you got your your cage up here to
make sure nobody throws anybody over
[Music]
[Music]
it's got a firm of those knuckleheads

at this gate
[Music]
alright everybody we are deep in the
tunnels of an abandoned jail deep deep
underground this city under underneath
the city but I can't go any further
because if we keep going that we're
gonna be in someplace we don't want to
be so we're making our way out as you
can see tunnels are unbelievably long
and dark wet but this is pretty damn
cool
you know kids
another urbex lesson urbex lesson number
three on this 48-hour urbex journey
again go with your gut if you're going
towards something that you don't think
you should go in don't go in it so we
just walked all the way through these
tunnels to check out see how far they
went and they went to some place but you
don't want to be so we don't want to get
in trouble not too much trouble anyways
that would get us in a lot of trouble so
we decided against
going into that place that's okay though
because I'm happy where we are so I'm
gonna hit pause now keep on filming and
we'll find some more cool [ __ ] and be
right back so seeing that we are in a
jail every once in a while it's it's
used by police to do training so if I
can just curl down here and zoom in
there's all kinds of different types of
police training bullets and different
types of rounds that they use in
training so they must have shot the hell
out of this room and then just swept
them all up into the corner here and you
got these rooms here these jail cells
for the really bad inmates segregation
cells so here's what their beds look
like none of the cells upstairs had any
beds all these goofballs filming making
videos talking into their phones just
like I am I being a goofball too
today I don't usually talk in my videos
like a goofball
today rebec's Carlow home away so as I
was saying urbex Carlow right here free
code and this good dog vlogs and urbex
carlos teaching me how to be a goofball
and this is a very special place
crappy here get this remember I wanted
to look at this with your legs there and
your arms up here yeah and you ain't
going nowhere but guess what somebody
looks Diane and love is what it's all
about guys love is what it's all about
okay here's where the guards sitting
room guards things doing guard gardening
yeah
gardening yeah yeah
here's another doorway this one could
take us outside we don't want to go
inside right now another stairway going
up here
[Music]
got to understand we're going up camera
right here what's this camera
I love these jail cells oh yeah just
keep walking
cuz that's what we do oh there you go
nice little shower don't drop the soap
you know what I'm saying here you go
that's how the inmates shower that's a
great looking shower right there you got
your glory hole
you got your shower and then you got to
sell right there these cells have
cameras in them
well they had cameras in let me go back
here because I don't know what's back
here still checking everything out nice
green walls in here place beautiful
place is just beautiful right now we're
inside a segregation jail so this is
what it looks like if you're a prisoner
and a segregation channel you get a
little tiny window they dare get a
little planning window on your door
you got your food slot you got your bed
there'll be a toilet right there
and looks like you just got a little
table
that's it that's what you get in
segregation this is the visitor read I'm
guessing this is where the visitor would
sit because visitor visits may be
monitored and then over here it's
probably wearing inmates but I don't
want me to sided glass
or one-way glass what's this called Oh
[Music]
yeah this is where the this is where the
big boss would sit and watch in here not
to the inmates make sure everything's
all right in the in the meeting room
