If only the prison still looked like this photo!

Original York Jail Castle 1853.

York County Prison Post 1906

The old prison looked to be secure, but I had no intentions of entering.  Well, perhaps if the gate had been open and the door unlocked….

The structure is fierce in nature, but nature is over-taking this stately building.  Any structure left unattended will eventually be consumed by Mother Nature.  The visual effects of this take-over are stunning.

The photos from outside the prison are mine.  The ones from inside were done by http://www.scottfrederickphotoblog.com in 2012.
