Look Inside the Abandoned Detroit House of Corrections Prison

The Detroit House of Corrections was home to thousands of prisoners beginning in 1861. The site, abandoned since 2004, was recently visited by a group of urban explorers.

The Detroit House of Corrections was a city-owned prison that was first built near the city's Eastern Market.

In 1919, the city purchased land in suburban Plymouth Township to build a new facility, that is what is shown in the video below. The prison was transferred to the State of Michigan and finally closed in 2004.
