I had my last visit at Kingston Pentitentiary on September 7,2013. I wanted to see my hubby before he moved to the other Maxium security prison. Not many people can say, yes I’ve been there when it was populated with inmates. I actually had a chance to go inside the prison gym for the Spring Social. My man’s range moved out of the notorious KP just last week, and now they are going to start tours at Kingston Pen. Which is very interesting…. I just wonder how the tour will go? Will they have to wait at the front door and hear the door buzz to let them in. I think it would be interesting for the public to actually see what we have to go through just for a visit.
This is where they sign in, and this is the ION scan, and then you have to wait in here and stand on the footprints to let the dogs search you. And once you pass you can proceed through the door, check in with the other CO, show your ID and then buzz to get into the visiting room and then wait for the inmates to walk out the door. Ohhhhh memories. Maybe I should go on the tour just for fun. I would like to go onto my mans old range and see other parts of the prison I never had access to. And this time, hopefully I will be able to take pictures! If any of you that read my blog go on the tour send me and email or message me on twitter to let me know how it is. I’m really interested on how the tour will go and what they will show you. Ohhh and if you do decide to go, just be aware it haunted! Phaha ha! I’ll post up a story closer to Halloween.
