Mobile Instinct - omg he’s hilarious! That’s cool that you’re with him.
Toilet privacy doesn't exist in prisons or other institutions. Whether you want to call it jail or prison. And you better learn to do a courtesy flush pretty quick if you have a cellmate.
Local jails people shower together but they wear their boxer shorts. But upstate there sure naked.. and together.
One of the many reasons I keep my ass on the straight and narrow. I would not survive in prison.
I've been subbed to his channel for a few months now. I like watching his channel too
Wow. I was a prisoner here years ago and you actually showed my cell. B-37. It was the best food ever served in a prison. I gained 40 pounds in the first 30 days.
Wow how did you end up there
@@barbarawalker5595 never returned a library book
Congratulations on being a free man today keep it up
@@StonewallStacks for returning a library 📚 😯😯

Murdering inquisitive women! lol Bet you're sorry you didn't use a 'nom de plume' now? ;-)
So when you hear the bin lid fall tonight... or find the flowers in your garden trampled on...
That was a very nice walk through and tour. I enjoyed seeing Lamont collaborating with you. It was especially good that Lamont pointed out the controversy concerning James Earl Ray. Early after the assassination, there was serious doubt concerning Ray's guilt. A number of aspects of the crime scene did not line up with the official story. Thank you, Lamont, for pointing out what is largely ignored by so many other RUclipsrs. He invests the time and effort to be as accurate as possible.
The men who painted those murals were talented.
Crazy people tend towards making good art work
Wow! Pretty neat to see you and Lamont on the same video. I've discovered both of you separately, it's a treat!
Gosh, if walls could speak... 😱
I can’t get over how cold and dead it is on the inside (sans the cafeteria murals), and how green, lush and alive it is on the outside! Quite the profound visual dichotomy. Wonderful tour, thank you!
Watch your language
A horrid place to spend ANY time.
@@BlackBiggot lol
A good place for those of evil to be placed.
My grandfather was incarcerated there for a time. My mom always said that he went in mean, but he came out meaner.
That was funny and cruel , lol
Sad.
It would seem that for some prisoners, places like this don't serve as deterrents, instead they serve as schools. Add the fact that you would never have a moments rest just trying to avoid someone killing you...sounds like a reason to become meaner.
Possibly the best video I've seen of this place. Great, smooth camera work and no mention of ghosties :-)
love these two together, hope there's more of them hanging together as they make videos
My first wife's brother did time there..been on the inside a few times visiting her brother..
Sometime in the 80's Brushy was called..East Tennessee Reception Center..for most your first stop for your prison sentence to be classified on what prison you would end up at..
You say it looks like it is in a state of decay like it was closed much longer ago. There are several active populated prison units in Texas that look exactly like the one you toured here. State funding just does not go toward beautification. Most of it goes into someone's pockets.
Both you Guys are Awesome! Enjoy all of of you guys vids! Keep up the great job!
Thanks Larry!
You two together are perfect. You both have knowledge about the places you go. Together you both create a fuller picture of history. Thank you. I still say, the Emmitt Till video was the most moving video I have ever seen.
great ending to the video!! cool that you linked up with him and got some additional insight into the place.
I think I'd prefer to be in isolation than in with the general population there.
100%
I prefer to be a tourist now!
Those outside areas connected to the cells remind me of something I'd see in a zoo for caged animals, but I guess in a sense they were animals
We're all animals. Open the cages !
@@jerryjohnson4625 Well said.
That's what a prison is..... for animals
@@ghostcityshelton9378 Stupidly said.
I noticed the electricity is still on.. I watched a documentary on that place on the history channel, seemed to be a harsh place to serve a sentence... Really cool tour guys!! Keepem coming!😎👍👍.. Btw I think you an Lamont should team up more often with the vlogs..
Terrible place...living under those conditions most likely just made the violent people even more angry and violent.
You're probably right
Probably shouldn't put yourself in a place like that eh 😜
What did people do to other people in the "Free World" to get locked in such places?
They probably shouldn't committed crimes that landed them there.
@@ninaappelt9001 Duh!
2009 !!?? Holy crap that wasnt that long ago and it looks ( like he said 1970s ) is when it closed down. I am speechless.
18:13 Lamont is no longer at large!! Excellent video guys, i enjoy both of your guys content and videos, especially Lamont's videos of graves and some of the stories behind them.
Been wanting to visit that place for awhile now. I used to work for Tennessee department of corrections but worked at a different prison. This place i believe was even worse then Riverbend which houses Tennessees death row on nashville. Tennessee state penitentiary is also located there and closed on the 1990s however not open to public and impossible now to restore.
Funny story.. I used to sell a lot of weed when i was young and my great uncle was in brushy mountain, my great aunt would get ounces from me and get them snuck into brushy mtn through his doctor. So for about 5-6 years in the 90s everybody in there was smoking my herbs!
I think you guys do a good job of checking these places out, I've watch both Lamont at Large and Mobile Instinct...I think you guys are the best....Keep up the good work, you make a good Duo....
I typically have to watch your content multiple times mostly because you are a great story teller and I usually doze off. Then I have to watch to see the places. Great video as always!!
Wow, I would hate to be stuck in a place like that! Thanks for the adventure!
Nice job! My grandfather was a guard there eons of time ago.
Eons......that's a big number.
ChaosDemonwolf1 lol you are correct. If he was still alive he'd be well over 100.
I love seeing these types of comments where they can relate to the video :p
@@MarksKicksOnRoute66 but...an eon is roughly a billion years. I think he would be older than 100. 😉🤣
My 2 Uncles, Dad and Brother worked here. My Uncles retired from this one but Dad moved to the new one and retired from there when Brushy shut down.
I love Lamont, been binge watching your channel too lol stay safe and keep bringing the videos 🙂
Just kinda sad that prison is the best option we've found so far. Just imagine that misery the people that were framed or wrongfully convicted faced.
I feel that framed or wrongfully convicted convicts would be miserable, and rightfully so, if they were sent to a "country club" type prison. Having said that, I have no sympathy for murderers, thieves or career criminals etc., sent to places such as Bushy Mountain. Let 'em rot!
Oh ok we will send all convicted felons to Sunday school because if you ask any convict they all are wrongfully convicted and the truth is very very few are truly wrongfully convicted
@@shane41225 wheres your numbers on that?
Numbers? It’s called common sense. Not saying that there isn’t EVER a wrongful conviction but there isn’t hundreds or thousands as you simple people that live behind your tv and computers believe. So your ignorant remark about basically slapping everyone on the wrist because who knows if they really committed the crime or not Is probably enough to show you are as dumb as a sack of rocks, so please just stop while your ahead 👍
Some of the Nordic countries have a very different system, and seems to be more successful in terms of rehabilitation, skills/trade learning and recidivism. Maybe we should look at some of those systems.
Not sure it's because of my request but thanks for wearing the Phillies hat and thanks for another great vid!
2 minutes in, I check out Lamont’s channel.
“Ohmygodyes “
What did u type in to find him
@@ucuttmyballz2210 he’s tagged as lamontatlarge in the description.
@@Lady_Chalk thanks for that very much will check him out
I was born and raised in Knoxville TN and I would have to pass the prison on my way to a friends house and always saw the prisoners outside sitting at tables. My dad used to deliver groceries to the prison back in the day. I moved out of state few years ago but next time I visit, this is on my list of places to visit.
Talking about all the violence reminded me of the HBO series OZ. Everyone was always scheming to do somebody in.
Not a place you would ever want to be sentenced to.
Thanks for sharing the prison visit. It actually looks good enough to still be in business because prison shouldn’t be like a grand hotel. It need to be something people never want to return to.
Tennessee man you are real close to me. I’m a Tennessee native.
There was an episode of Lockup that featured this prison when it was open.
Gotta check that out! He said it closed in the 70’s though? Was that inaccurate or was the show Lockup showing like, news clips or something?
@@deendrew36 he said 2009 but looks like it closed in 1979 from the condition of the building.
Unless the weather hastened interior demise
This place so old I’m from Tn an few my family members stayed there years ago thank u for sharing
“A few of my family members stayed there...” lolol! Like it is a resort hotel or something.
@@deendrew36 of course it was holiday inn 😂😂😂 have awesome night 🖕🏽
Very nice !! Loved that !! I watch Lamont at Large, love his videos !! Thanks guys :)
I am a big fan of yours and a big fan of Lamont. Thanks for joing forces!!!
Hes a cool guy to hang out with.
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe out there.
I had a coworker who was sent there for dealing.
Yay. I loved going to Brushy overnight a few years ago. Cell block D was super scary.
I was there with you 😍
Rachelynn 307 I didn't really talk to many people, did we hang? Sorry I don't remember you boo :( I was with Amy and her friend the whole time. I also left early and didn't say bye to anyone :( I had fun that night though, I remember it was end of October but it was flurries around
@@KitschyTravels we did a little bit but I was mostly with RayRay and Jon.
Rachelynn 307 Oh yeah, I remember him growling pretending it was a ghost but it was him haha.
Why would u stay overnight for??
If I got 99 years in there I wouldn't have taken it out on some dude and thrown him over the side, I'd have threw myself over.
The famous Algoa prison in Jefferson City, Missouri can be toured too.
Great video and as always very informative.
What a place! Glad to see that they put the inmates to work though back then! Thanks to you two! You should do more stuff together! Pat
Keep up the Amazing work with these videos. Although I will point out places like this that have been converted in to museums are defined as (Decommissioned)
Your vids are perfect to watch because they're to the point and very informative.
Lamont collaboration! Thank you!
That place is haunted AF... CRAZY
It is it was on hunting the dead
Love the video!!!! What an interesting place. Very cool. Love me some Lamont too. 👍🏽👍🏽
My ex husband served there and he deserved it and should still be there as is
Going to leave us hanging with no backstory?
@@JoeRyMi she doesn't have to
Zack Michtels of course, I wasn’t being pushy. 😇
Nah I will be pushy, I need back stories for public accusations 🤫
I don't think she has one that's why she didn't comment on anybody else comments
Thanks for sending me to this video Chris, really enjoyed this. Stay safe 👍👊🇬🇧🇺🇸
it would be cool for you to explore the prison "the Green Mile" was filmed in. Awesome video of brushy mountain though. Thanks Chris!
Love your presentations Mobile instinct, with this video on this abandoned prison, nice to see all this left behind in a good condition i saw. Nice to see you with my friend Mr. lamonth at Large, which i follow a while on all his stories on murdered people and cemetaries, love his video presentations too. I am watching from Paramaribo your nice videos, and keep the good work going Mobile instinct.
Loved the video! I love watching Lamont!
Oh wow!! I remember seeing a documentary on it as a kid, I didn't know they closed! What can happen in a decade...
We went to Brushy Mountain, in 2020. We toured the grounds and distillery as well. At the time we were there, the owner of the distillery was putting up bottles of a "first run" of a whiskey, onto the shelves. After a sample tastin, we started chatting and he explained that the literally just finished the first run of this whiskey and first bottling. I asked if it was for sale yet or not, being that there were only a few cases at that point, and he said yes. He handed me a bottle that he just put onto the shelf, and I completed the purchase. Being that
I bought the first customer bottle sold I paid to have the bottle engraved with the day and such. This was the first time they had used the engraving, so the spacing was off center, and such. They offered to give me another bottle and to try again, but I wanted to keep the authenticity of being the first bottle sold, so I kept it. We chatted some more, and took pictures. It was a neat experience.
Love this video. Planning on visiting there soon. I'm from Tennessee. So I say welcome and hope you enjoy your stay.
Thanks!
I live 20 minutes from there, it would have been nice to meet you Great video as always brother. Be safe God Bless
Awesome video!! You both are awesome together keep up the good work 👏 I live about 30 minutes from there
My grandfather was there. Him and James earl ray were neighbors. He always said he was a great guy to speak with.

I grew up 25 minutes from this prison!! Bad juju there!! Have many friends and family who worked or were guards at the prison!! Welcome to Petros dude!!👍
Back in the 1980s I went to tour Alcatraz on tour. A family friend was a ranger there and we got to see the casemates of the 1855 Coast Artillery fort that was initially there. Then it became an Army stockade before a Federal Penitentiary. It closed in the 1960s and was "Occupied" by the American Indian Movement.
Lamont's awesome. Love your guys sense of humor at the end too. Hoping to see some more collabs in the future
Nice hat! Go Phils!
Great video...love your channel.
Thank u guys 4 doing this , the prison tour and all . Ur with a good man there ' lamont ' , I watch him alot , ' lamont @ large '
Found your channel by way of Lamont At Large. So glad I did.
This is the first of your videos that I've ever watched. So far I loved it! I'm goin to watch more they're great!!👍👍👍👍👍
The old Lifebuoy carved into a pistol trick! The stuff of scores of B movies. (it always went wrong, too!)
Cant imagine keeping yur sanity in there😖
Monica Ford most of the inmates probably didn’t have a lot going in.
For sure. If they didn’t have mental problems going in, they certainly did coming out. IF they came out.
Play bingo.
Fabulous video. I used to work in corrections doing mental health.They sure never did any upgrades to this prison. That segregation, D block, is pretty standard. Sometimes an inmate was placed in seg for their protection, too. Always amazed me that the inmates broke themselves off into racial groups by choice. The hair grooming sets kept in boxes were for each race. I always wondered what Jesse Jackson, Jr thought of that when he served.
Great video! Love your channel! Much Respect from Northern AZ🙏🏼
Thank you for posting this video. My grandfather was a guard here back in the day.
I’m glad y’all did this vid for the historical factor and not the , eh hem, “paranormal” faction. Awesome video, thanks again.
Ive heard several stories of this place throughout my life as its located a small drive from where i live at here in Knoxville
A lot of information here!
Love seeing Lamont with you!
Funny ending!! 🙂👍
I had a freind in Tn , who eas a guard at brushy mtn for 17 yrs , he was the guard who found the footprints and gum wrappers that led to the re capture of jamed earl ray and in fact first to discover him hideing in leaves . My freind told me that you could see it in J e rays eyes , he was incapabele of the crime he was convicted of . Not tje first innocent man in prison
Even Judge Joe Brown has said James Earl Ray was innocent
non contact visitation....they knew about 2020
Nice try, Lamont! I have no upper body strength. No can do for me! 😃
You all are missing the point - its supposed to be secure and horrible - so no one wants to be sent there. Prison is not rehabilitation, it's discipline for people who never learned it as a child. Learn it when you're young or the prison system will teach you the hard way later.
Except prison is rehabilitation (that's college level Corrections 101) Stop treating them like animals and they won't behave that way. The American prison system is trash. Land of the free, yet we have the highest number of incarcerated people.
The only thing the US prison system teaches is that you get raped for a pack of soup or no reason at all. Random punishing is not rehabilitation and it does not teach about discipline at all - the opposite is the case, because no matter how good you try to behave, you will get smacked, raped or killed when you do not obey the rules of exactly those people who are also in prison for committing crime.
You, Sir, do not know jack about prisons at all and what you say, I call BS.
@Duke the meister If you experienced that, I'm sorry. No one deserves the American prison system. What they teach you in college and what happens in reality is soul crushing. I hope you have a better life and things are going better for you.
Wow such beautiful greenery to contrast that hell hole of a prison.
15:00 Looking at it from this view, one would think it's not such a bad place. I've seen prisons in lots of movies and it really doesn't prepare you for this

Thank you for taking us there Chris. I don't think I could go in there in person. Corridors too narrow and I'm claustrophobic. 😲 I don't recall you saying so, but you're able to pick up on "negative" vibes in places aren't you?
Definitely some negative vibes in there!
Your vids are so informative as well as interesting v great work
Makes me want to watch Prison Break again.
This prison is much much much better than we have in the Philippines.
Good job as usual love you see in Lamont
You 2 have the best channels on RUclips
New sub sent over from Lamont at Large. Thank you so much for this video, and all the information you have put into it. It is hard to believe that it closed in this century, it looks like it was closed decades ago. So barbaric looking.
Wow! This is a very interesting place and history. I expect you could hear voices.
Nature is slowly taking over. I like it! Good upload!
Nice way to start my day,thanks again!
Its awsome to see this in day light iv seen heaps of vids at night doing spirit investigations. Great video thank you xx
4:09 new ringtone tnx man
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Awww, Lamont! ❤
You’re in my area. My husband works for the prison (the one that replaced Brushy). Brushy has a lot of horrible stories about it.
Side note....James Earl Ray escaped and was found slightly over 2 days later less than 2 miles from the prison (if I remember correctly) because the mountain Terrain is so dense and treacherous.
I can't help feeling sad for those men, but I guess they did it to themselves. Thanks for sharing good to see Lamont again.
Fell sad for their victims not them
@@cplcabs you also have to keep in mind the amount of people who were falsely accused and sent to that prison, especially back in the day when technology was nowhere near what it is today.
Should also mention it's also a distillery now
