I was in there in 1997 was fuckin awsome haha we seen some hectic stuff could still buy ciggys the 2 halls for eating is cause boneyard was on the other side of the wall and all us main stream were all on the big side in the vid my celly drew the castle on the wall in 1989 but yeh hectic as so good to see the old place again so many good times and yeh you could buy grog once a fortnight and ya had a limit of 12 tallys on the buyup for your cell so you could get 6 and ya celly could get 6 or if he didnt drink you were aloud 12 but yeh wasnt to bad a day out here and there and we used to all sleep with female officers all the time or get them to bring drugs and stuff in quite alot before it got closed down and we all got moved to other prisons and it was only due to the condition of the cells and the fact it was all falling apart then but and they had made new facilities this is the low sec and medium side tho where ya can basically roam within the fence and ya only had to be back for count and lunch dinner and lock away was 9Pm
Man, thank-you so much for sharing all of this....answered so many questions. Makes sense about the boneyard. Love that the castle was still there for you to see. That's absolutely wild that you could buy booze in there, and the officers got down like that. Doesn't sound like too bad a time at all haha. Not sure if you heard but it was demolished recently.
@@urbexgecko yeh knew it was Gunna get demolished was meant to get demolished back in early 2000 but they decided to use it as a training ground for a while and yeh prison was way different back in the day when U were aloud to smoke and drink and all the officers were actually half decent and was not much rules or anything was just a giant day care centre for crims haha obviously heaps of bad shit aswell but majority of the time it was good
friend of mine was in the Police Special Operations Group, they were always training with explosive shape charges to breach these types of old facilities, I went through the closed Fairlea womens prison in Melbourne in the 90’s. i found many walls breached and all kinds of stun grenades and blank cartridges everywhere.
I remember seeing this prison when it was operational, in like 2007, when I lived in Kallangur, crazy to see its abandoned now tho, wow, cool that this is a Brisbane burned channel, you know I had to Sub
If there is one thing what I would like to explore, is an abandoned prison... Unfortunately there is none in Hungary where I am from. If you think about that people spend time in those cells, many hopes, dreams, regrets are still left in those cells.
"I asked for a 13 but they drew a 31." is from a song by Th Offspring from their 1998 album Americana. from 2:05 into the song Pretty Fly (for a White Guy). Just saying.
Thank you for the like to my reply. My grandmother worked as a psychologist at wacol in the 1980s. She's no longer with us. All that knowledge, experience and connections with the past went with her. She was an awesome person.
Yeah mate, best bet is on the weekend though as the police train there though the week. From what I've read about it on FB lately, it sounds like nothing has changed security wise. It's tricky to get to when you haven't been before, If you need a map and more info just reach out on FB or IG. I was going to take you there last time you were in the area, but you didn't reply to my message haha.
Funnily enough the side you would access it from had no signs, plenty closer to the active prison though. It's government land, unsure what they will do with it now. Can't see anything commercial going there, possibly upgrade and extend the existing police K9 facility as they used to use this site for training anyway.
Yeah unfortunately. Heard rumours around the start of the year, then a mate went and checked to confirm. Nah, I went like 7 weekends in a row with no issues.

You're spot on! Found out after this was filmed it was used for training drills, imagine they'd be pretty fun.

They don't come up too often in Australia either.
Very true, you can feel that lingering energy in the cells.
Excellent..thanks for sharing
Great explore. I had no idea this existed.

Sorry for answering my own comment but I think it
It is possible that the person who got Room 31 was an Offspring fan. Sorry I hit the Enter button half way through.

Most of the blasts through walls & broken bars are from police & other agencies training for various reasons state & federal
@@tomdagan6361 No shit, he said that
🔥🔥🔥 video bro
That’s awesome mate
Not sledge hammers. breach charges training.
Double fair exploration 👍
I hope the 13/31 is a reference to the offspring song...
Ahhhhh,that makes more sense now. I hope so too haha.
Listen to the song, "pretty fly for a white guy" and you'll understand.
8:51 I remember as a kid they had these in the Mcdonalds playground, so id take a guess and say thats where its from, who knows how it got there
Awesome.
magnificent.
Did my first lag here in 96
Hey sir is it advisable for me to egg-splore this place at during daylight hours?
Also is it red hot now? Thx sir.

You spelled egg splore wrong.
Thats a nice prison
Really unique,not what you imagine when you hear the word prison.
Isn’t it signed “No Entry”?
Is it private or public land now?

This still standing? Might go sus it out
nice stuff! I wanna do wacol too
Has since been demoed.
@@urbexgecko huh really? Did you have to dodge any security cars??
Yeah unfortunately. Heard rumours around the start of the year, then a mate went and checked to confirm. Nah, I went like 7 weekends in a row with no issues.
Is there a way I can find where this place is to go to see it?
Can u still visit this place ?
Yea same here I’m so wanting to visit 😭
Ahhh just found out it was demolished
I knew people in Wacol jail who would fight the screws and smoke the dope in the jail.
Good for you @billyshane !! What a hero you are!!!
Did anyone see you there?
Nah, went there plenty of times without any issues. Has since been demolished.
@@urbexgecko wait when did it get demolished???
Few months ago.
What was this Jail’s name?
@@CraigAlexander-m9l Moreton A and Moreton B at wacol
With the massive homeless problem we now have this rotting place providing shelter could be easily repurposed.
@@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs whose going to foot the bill to clean it up and fix it up?
