Missouri State Penitentiary (The Walls)

This is where I worked from 1996-2004. This prison (MO.State Penn) was built in 1836. It lasted untill 2004. It was the oldest prison west of the Mississippi. This prison (The Walls) was the bloodiest in the state. As a Correctional Supervisor this is a small documentary of the old prison. I hope you all under stand what all DOC staff have to endure every time we step in a prison? Thanks to all and enjoy the video.

I went here for my 8th grade class trip in October. It was really cool but also really creepy I kept thinking I was seeing shadows everywhere! I didn't know it was suppose to be haunted until ghost hunters went there!

Headed to Jeff City in two weeks with my 4th grade class. We used to visit to the State Penn and do the hillside chat with an inmate in the back of the prison (very powerful). Had many students (and parents) changed for the better due to those chats.

Thank you for your time of service there. Hard to believe it closed 7 yrs ago.

Couldn't pay me enough or 100% healthcare to work at one of these places. This girl has worked hard but wouldn't have the patience to put up with that crap.

Been there Did that. I was In for Joy riding 1979, Did 2 years. Money exchanging hands, guards bringing in drugs and ripping off the state that they worked for. I have no respect for the keepers as well as the kept.Although I love and respect everyone that I encounter in my life. I found that at the least, 25 percent of the individuals that I lived with and interacted with on a day to day basis really didn't need to be there, and I was a psychology major
