Inside Juvenile Detention
As recently as 2005, the state of Virginia had eight centers like Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility, housing more than 1,300 delinquent youth. But by 2017, after a series of reforms, that number had shrunk to one.
“It's not that you can't do good work here,” said Andy Block, who, since 2014, has served as the juvenile-justice department’s director. “But the place itself and the design and the size and the location are barriers to doing good work.” Block and others are working to close Bon Air and replace it with something that reflects the juvenile justice reforms that have taken hold in Virginia and across the country—a system that once focused on confinement is now dedicated to rehabilitation. In recent years, more than 70 percent of Virginia's juvenile inmates were rearrested within three years of their release.*
Read more on The Atlantic:
*This documentary originally stated that Virginia has one of the highest recidivism rates in the country. This characterization was based on incomplete data. The documentary also stated that the three-year rearrest rate for current Bon Air inmates would be 74 percent. This was the rate for former juvenile inmates in Virginia in 2014. We regret the errors.

CLOSED STATE PRISON!! Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary
The prison closed June 11, 2009
Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary last-named Brushy Mountain Correctional Complex was a large maximum-security prison in the town of Petros in Morgan County, Tennessee, operated by the Tennessee Department of Correction. It was established in 1896 and operated until 2009. The grounds of the prison are now included in part of the Barkley Marathons.
Notable inmates
In addition to James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Martin Luther King, Jr., notable inmates included Byron Looper, who was convicted in 2000 for the murder of State Senator Tommy Burks and began serving his life sentence at Brushy Mountain.[citation needed] George Hyatte, one of the perpetrators of the 2005 Kingston courthouse shooting, was imprisoned at Brushy Mountain at the time of that incident.
This prison has only been abandoned for 3 years it looks like they are breaking it down to sell the the property. Why were the lights on? Why was all the grass cut nicer than my house lawn? The whole building was strange it was nice that every building was unlocked tho. I would have thought to lock the doors if I was going to abandon a prison but thats just me.

Bill Cosby Sentenced to 3 to 10 Years in Prison by Pennsylvania Judge
Bill Cosby, the comic once regarded as America’s dad before allegations of sexual assault derailed his once legendary career, has been sentenced to three to 10 years in prison. The comedian showed no emotion as the sentence was handed down in a Pennsylvania courtroom Tuesday by Judge Steven O'Neill, who called Cosby a sexually violent predator. O'Neill also denied a request by Cosby's legal team to grant bail while they file an appeal, and Cosby was remanded into custody.
Haunting Tales from Inside Prison Walls
Prisons, by their very nature, are oppressive places, and many inmates are sent there to live out the rest of their lives. Historically we know that some prisoners have been placed within their confinements unjustly. This, along with fact that in many countries, executions took place within prison walls with the dead then being interred within prison grounds, in most cases in unmarked graves, leaves little surprise that reported prison hauntings the world over are abundant.
For this video, rather than give general overviews of prisons and their haunted reputations, I’ve picked out specific, mostly dated incidents, reported by the people who experienced them. As usual, I’ve chosen lesser-known stories, and I’ve also avoided obvious locations such as California’s Alcatraz and Pennsylvania’s Eastern State Penitentiary, because I feel the reputations of these prisons are well-established and have already been covered at length. That said, I bring you the stories behind five haunting incidents which allegedly took place behind prison walls.

What Bill Cosby Ate on His First Day in Prison
An exhausted Bill Cosby, dressed in prison blues, looked crestfallen in his mugshot, which was taken hours after his sentencing Tuesday. Cosby will call the Phoenix State Correctional Institution in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, his home for the next three to 10 years. Now known as inmate number NN7687, the fallen idol is said to be in good spirits after his first night. The 81-year-old woke up at 7 a.m. Wednesday and enjoyed a breakfast of grits, hard-boiled eggs, toast, juice and coffee.
How To Obtain Court Transcripts
If you would like to order transcripts of a court hearing, you typically must submit a written request for the transcripts to the clerk of the court where the hearing took place. Some court transcripts may even be available online! A few federal courts are participating through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records system, or PACER. You can visit the website at Otherwise, call the court clerk for information about what forms are required to submit your request. To learn more about how to obtain court transcripts visit
Panopticon
The Panopticon is a type of institutional building designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow a single watchman to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) inmates of an institution without the inmates being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. Although it is physically impossible for the single watchman to observe all cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that all inmates must act as though they are watched at all times, effectively controlling their own behaviour constantly. The name is also a reference to Panoptes from Greek mythology; he was a giant with a hundred eyes and thus was known to be a very effective watchman.
The design consists of a circular structure with an “inspection house” at its centre, from which the manager or staff of the institution are able to watch the inmates, who are stationed around the perimeter. Bentham conceived the basic plan as being equally applicable to hospitals, schools, sanatoriums, daycares, and asylums, but he devoted most of his efforts to developing a design for a Panopticon prison, and it is his prison which is most widely understood by the term.

William Carlos Williams Seafarer great poetry = the poet himself recites
Seafarer
By William Carlos Williams
The sea will wash in
but the rocks-jagged ribs
riding the cloth of foam
or a knob or pinnacles
with gannets--
are the stubborn man.
He invites the storm, he
lives by it! instinct
with fears that are not fears
but prickles of ecstasy,
a secret liquor, a fire
that inflames his blood
to coldness so that the rocks
seem rather to leap
at the sea than the sea
to envelope them. They strain
forward to grasp ships
or even the sky itself that
bends down to be torn
upon them. To which he says,
It is I! I who am the rocks!
Without me nothing laughs.
William Carlos Williams was born in Rutherford, New Jersey. His grandmother, an Englishwoman deserted by her husband, had come to the United States with her son, remarried, and moved to Puerto Rico. Her son, Williams' father, married a Puerto Rican woman of French Basque and Dutch Jewish descent.
Williams attended school in Rutherford until 1897, when he was sent for two years to a school near Geneva and to the Lycée Condorcet in Paris.
He attended the Horace Mann School upon his return to New York City. Passing a special examination, he was admitted in 1902 to the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1906.
His first book, Poems, was published in 1909.
Williams married Florence Herman (1891--1976) in 1912 after his proposal to her older sister was refused.
They moved into a house in Rutherford, New Jersey, which was their home for many years. Then his second book of poems, The Tempers, was published by a London press through the help of his friend Ezra Pound, whom he met while studying at the University of Pennsylvania.
Although his primary occupation was as a family doctor, Williams had a successful literary career as a poet.
He wrote poetry, short stories, plays, novels, essays, and translations.
He practiced medicine by day and wrote at night. Early in his career, he briefly became involved in the Imagist movement through his friendships with Pound and H.D. (whom he also befriended at the University of Pennsylvania), but he drifted from that movement since he had different views.
In 1915 Williams associated with a group of New York artists and writers known as The Others.
In 1920, Williams was sharply criticized by many peers (like H.D., Pound, and Wallace Stevens) when he published one of his
most experimental books, Kora in Hell: Improvisations.
Pound called the work incoherent whereas H.D. thought the book flippant.
Williams book titled Spring and All contained classic Williams poems like The Red Wheelbarrow and To Elsie.
However, in 1922, the year before Williams published Spring and All, T.S. Eliot published The Waste Land--a literary sensation. Eliot's work overshadowed Williams' very different brand of poetic Modernism.
In his Autobiography, Williams would later write, I felt at once that The Waste Land had set me back twenty years and I'm sure it did. Critically, Eliot returned us to the classroom just at the moment when I felt we were on a point to escape to matters much closer to the essence of a new art form itself—rooted in the locality which should give it fruit.
Although he respected the work of Eliot, Williams became openly critical of Eliot's highly intellectual style with its frequent use of foreign languages and allusions to classical and European literature.
Williams preferred to make poems from colloquial English (American style)--that is, from language spoken on the street.
