State School for the Feeble Minded/State Prison.
This State School for the feeble minded consists of over a dozen structures it was originally built in the early 1900’s, eventually embracing the Eugenics doctrine.
The school went through the same issues as similar institutions, understaffed, underfunded, overcrowded, it was phased out and finally closed in the 1980’s After closure the dept of corrections established a chain link and razor wire perimeter and converted the core group of the larger buildings into a State Prison.
This prison was closed last year due to budget issues. There still remains and small ground force who are mothballing it as well as an active DOC office complex and a training area for police and SWAT teams.
There have been two explorations by the Stooges individual and in severalty. It is becoming increasingly well sealed up but over the two times several entries have been made. Our last visit was cut short when we noticed a group of at least 20 SWAT team members assembling to train on the site.
