I enjoyed your video though it brought some sad memories for me. My Dad was in Brushy Mountain in 1960 to 1961 I was only 12 years old when he was there. I can remember my Mom trying to make me go into visit him and I wouldn't even get out of the car. We lived in a Hollow over the mountain from BM and when they would have a prison break everyone would lock their doors .The police would come through with dogs looking for them. Thanks for the video I didn't know they had turned it into a tourist attraction. Though I don't think I will ever visit.
Hello Patara & James. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Birthday, James!!
❤️💙💜 Thank you for the tour. My ex-Father-In-Law was the warden there back in the 1960’s. My ex-Mother-In-Law used to tell me stories of living in the warden’s home there. They had a trustee who cooked for them. All three of the boys got their hair cut by the prison barber. I wish I had learned more, but they are both gone now.
Thank you for showing this. I once knew a kind and gentle soul who was sentenced there for trading some marijuana for a stereo system. He used to talk about how rough it was there. He worked in the kitchen. I am glad I got to see the images to go with his stories. I can’t imagine how this man survived in there. Thank you again.
Happy birthday James 🎂🎁🎆
I visited Moundsville Pen as a Freshman at Marshall U. It was very similar only it still had prisoners in it. Changed my major after that. 😬
I am so jealous you guys are out there with no masks enjoying the sun and air! Loved seeing this. Thank you so much!
That was interesting! Thank you and happy birthday James!
Very interesting History!
Thanks for sharing this P.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎈🎂 James!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Happy Birthday James! Cool place to go for a birthday tour!
A must watch because I love history and old buildings 😍!!! Thank you for sharing!
🎂 HAPPY Birthday James. Thank you guys for sharing. Stay well.
very interesting. love old history. thx for sharing. enjoyed this. fabulous. thx
I love Eastern Tennessee….even the views from the prison are beautiful! Been trying to talk my husband into getting a cabin in the mountains there. Thanks for the prison tour 👍🏼
Thank you for the tour!
Happiest of happy birthdays Mr James!
Happy birthday James. My husband would love that tour. I enjoyed it.
Wonderful. My next road trip. The best intro I've seen. The American Flag. Thanks for that.
Fabulous, I really enjoyed your tour. I visited America, on a wild west tour, and absolutely loved it. I love your channel, love from England in the UK xxx♥️
Love ya James..you and Patara are the best. Your boys are very Blessed
Love TN. We travel to TN at least once a year with the RV and stay in sevierville and take our girls through the Smokey Mountains. TN is so beautiful.
My husband who is now deceased did 9 years in prison there before we were married, we were married for 40 years and 5 months. The things he told me that happened. A lot of people couldn't have survived what he did. One thing he worked in the coal mines and they gave you a quote to get each day if not gotten you got beaten he did once he said but not again, he said he saw the blood run down into the top of their shoes when some got beaten. He was the chief cook for 3 years. They grew their own food too he said. He did hard time not as they do now.
He did time with James Earl Ray he said too. Said he was standing beside someone once who got stabbed 27 times and they lived but you couldn't say anything or you would be the next one.
His two brothers were there with him also, a 25-year sentence but they did 9 years and were on parole for 5 years. He never went back either like a lot do today. He did time in the hole once he said just so he could see one of his brothers he broke some rules is why he got in the hole but he got to see his brother.
He said the Warden told him he would let the prisoners have steaks once a week if he cut down on all the waste the farmers were coming and getting for their hogs to feed them and he did he said they didn't get any more food for their hogs and they got the steaks once a week.
Thanks for the tour!
Very cool! We'll have to check it out on our next trip up that way! Thanks for sharing!
We rode atv's on the coal creek property and could see the prison from a distance looking down from one of the mountains. Would like to tour it sometime.
Hey. This brought back memories. I toured this prison back when I worked for the department of corrections in Memphis, then later in Nashville. I got an appreciation for staying out of trouble right after graduating from UT Knoxville....back in 1977.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES 🎉🎂🎈. Nothing wrong with a little jail time to get your priorities straight.lol.
You were in my neck of the woods! MoCo!
I'm in Morgan Co too. Hello!
Mine too!
You were in my county and didn’t come see me 🤣🤣. This caused a big up-roar around here when they wanted to open a distillery, we are a dry county. Had to hold a special vote!
Happy birthday James
"Big Guy" Mr.
Great tour
Ty for sharing 💓Oregon State.
This was great! I’ve always been fascinated by remnants of the past. I have heard of Brushy Mountain all my life. I had an uncle that used to say “y’all behave or you might get hauled off to Brushy Mountain!” I live near the TN/KY state line and I googled it to learn more. I didn’t know ‘The Green Mile’ was filmed there! Thanks for sharing, Patara, and Happy birthday, James! 🥰
Thanks for the tour. Very interesting.
Wow. So much history to see in your area. That building looks like an old sanitarium I use to work in.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!🎉🎉 LOVE THE TOUR !! THANKYOU!
I grew up in NE TN. I remember the stories
This was neat to see. The hole would have driven people crazy I bet.
Thank you for taking me along.
Happy Birthday!
Thanks so much. That was so interesting 🤣. Imagine living in those conditions...wow.
Happy birthday James.
Thank you for the tour.
Crime does not pay! The kudzu growing all over looks just like here in Eastern Kentucky. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
I remember first learning about this place in the Berkley Marathon documentary. Gotta get my family down to see it.
I enjoyed the tour. So sad. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Prisoners had to build this prison. They didn't get to lay around and eat and sleep. Back then they had to work in prison.
Happy belated birthday Mr James!
Happy Birthday James. Awesome video Patara thanks for sharing with us all.
Happy birthday James 🎂🎉
Thank you for showing us brushy moutain that was really interesting
Happy belated Birthday James
That was interesting! I don’t think I would have wanted to be a resident there though.
That’s so cool. Always gotta be a tourist in your own state and town.
That was very interesting! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
New subscriber and I really enjoyed the tour. Going back to watch some of your older videos. Mary.
It’s your Birthday 🎂
Happy Happy birthday James 🎉🎊🎉
Have a blessed day celebrating your special day with Patara
& your family 🎉
Cool video
Best wishes
Thanks for sharing. Cool video tour
Happy Birthday James!!!
Intro made me think of the song
Allman Brothers - Ramblin' Man
Ok, now I'm gonna have to take a trip and visit. That looks really interesting, and we only live about 1 1/2 hours away, in Ky. Thanks! :)
What a neat experience!! Thanks for sharing!!
Enjoyed the tour and the comments. Thanks
Very cool! We really enjoyed our tour of Alcatraz when we lived in CA.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
We have a similar old state penitentiary in Ft. Madison, Iowa that used to have tours. Not sure if they still do. The state built a new age prison and now they get better treatment than seniors in nursing homes...quite sad. I think they should go back to the old one. And before anyone gets fussy I've had family have the privilege of staying in the old prison.
Nice place, looks like home. Good music, thanks
Happy Birthday James🎉 great trip!
Wow! Very interesting!
My hometown!!!!! Love Petros
Thanks for the tour, you did a great job!
When I come home to Knoxville late next month I'm gonna have to take my son there for a tour. Maybe even my sister, not sure if she was old enough to remember our trips to the mountain and seeing the prison from above. Great video. So great that they turned it into a tourist attractions and are able to bring much needed money into that area of east Tennessee.
Thank you for the tour this is the real deal ADOC !
This will be a neat trip!
That was cool. Thanks for sharing 😊
I knew youd end up in prison this channel is criminaly good
Clever 😘
Most of the prisoners never committed another crime after they got out, due to the condition, and discipline endured while in there, did not want to go back, Not like the prisons today which are like motels with meals. Thanks for the tour, interesting, paused the video to read when when the plaques were shone.
Awesome video thank you.
Wow Patara thanks for sharing, so James was in corrections for a job I suppose.
That reminds me of the prison in moundsville wv
I actually toured this a few months ago. I live in a neighboring town. Was about 5 mo pregnant at that time and it left me feeling very ...weighed down and sick. Not sure how else to describe it. You can almost tangibly feel the oppression of this place's history. Eery experience to say the least. But man was the location beautiful
Interesting!
Just about five hours away-"ROAD TRIP!"
I can remembers a kid people saying “ they got sent to Brushy Mountain” about several law breakers.
I went to school in Petros for a time. I would like to tour it.
Wow!
Look similar to the one I work. The landscape is alot better.
My dad has talked about this prison and the coal company many times…..guess need to take him back to see what it’s like now..Thanks for this video..
Wow! Really neat! If places like this still existed in the US - I believe crime would be greatly reduced. This is still the way in a lot of other countries in the world.
Mr. Janes looked a bit uncomfortable at the prison! Interesting place!
When I was young and the family would make a day trip taking us by the prison, I made sure everyone locked the car doors....☺ Thanks for the tour... Happy Birthday James 👍👍
Montana has an old prison similar to this that was used until the 70’s. It’s a dark cold place.
Interesting! Other than James Earl Ray, the only thing I remember about Brushy Mountain State Prison is from The Silence of the Lambs - Senator Martin's offer to Hannibal Lector!
I grew up two counties from the prison
they could chain you to that bed ...for starters ... don't much like the things we are able to do to one another. that was something.
Interesting!!
I wonder what the Creek or Cherokee name was for Brushy Mountain?
When you work in a prison you are locked in with these " innocent " boy scouts😕 worked at GreenHaven maximum facility in the infirmary as nurse.
We have a Brushy Mountain in Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma too. I lived there. No need to say it is not a prison though lol
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Great Uncle was a prisoner there. He had shot a man for abusing his Sister. Two years later the man died. They had a speedy trial over near Crossville, TN. He hadn't been in there 9 months and died of Dysentery. He was buried in the Prison Cemetery. I don't know when it happened, but the Cemetery became overgrown with weeds. They mowed down the weeds and ALL if the MARKERS for the Graves of the Prisoners! My Great Uncle is still buried there, but only GOD knows where.
It was a BRUTAL place. That HOLE was probably the safest place in the building! You couldn't be raped, stabbed or killed while you were in the Hole!
Brushy Mountain Prison had a reputation, it wasn't a place to have fun. I'm glad that they have opened it up for people to see.
There was a large Farm associated with BMP just up the Road near Frozen Head State Park (Another beautiful place), they used to use the Prisoners to run it. They grew all the food or at least Most of it at the Farm. That had to be a blessing to all the prisoners that got to work there. Fresh air! The prisoners also learned how to make leather Purses and Wallets. There was good and bad things about the Prison.
It would be wonderful if they could locate the graves of the prisoners. You would have thought that they would have some sort of record of each burial. Thank you Both for the tour.
James we hope you enjoyed your Birthday! GOD bless
Good gravy!!!!😥
If only those walls could talk
Peet-tross, TN... interesting. I thought it was pronounced Pet-trose.
Pronounced Pet-trose only in Greek! LOL (popular name there)
Eek
