  • You don't usually think of a prison as a good vacation destination, especially like Brushy Mountain State Prison. For more than a century, the worst of the worst of the worst criminals were sent there. But of course it was closed in 2009. Now, it's re-opened not for inmates, but for tourists. Join Nashville Public Television and Tennessee Crossroads to see at this once infamous lock-up.

    Just visited Brushy Mt at the first of this month. It was awesome to have the opportunity to visit. Incredibly sad and eye opening to the life here. I am so glad you did this video.

      We were allowed to tour the prison on our own and William Harvey was around to tell stories and answer questions.

    As a former convict there. I can say this. What that female guard said was a lie. What they did not tell you about that prison is this. Most all the guard was kin together. Like brothers cousins and or mom's. An if you ever hurt one of them. They carry you down in the hole and start beating you with there clubs they carry with them

    I recognize the host in the opening as the same dude from some hot rod shows. However, in those shows he seems to try to look the part that he is actually working on the cars, but is primarily narrating.

    The public will never get "TRUTH" about brushy.the guards tried to cause trouble.

      You need to remember that Brushy was the end of the line for inmates that needed to remember that they were in prison. The officers were doing their job against men who wanted to hurt or kill the staff daily.
