Summary

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the ruins of Old Newgate Prison in East Granby, Connecticut. The prison got its start as a copper mine back in 1709. After the mine closed, Connecticut believed they found the perfect place for their first state prison. After multiple escapes and riots, a more formal building was constructed on the site. It was a place the inmates simply called: Hell.

Wow, these are some really cool ruins. Yeah, aren't they, though? We're standing by a complex of old buildings. There's brick walls with bars in the windows. There are stone structures. And in the middle is a brick building that kind of looks like it's in pretty good shape. And this complex has been here a really long time. It looks like it. What's it doing way out here in the middle of nowhere in East Granby, Connecticut?
