Abandoned Detention Center

Explored! April 2nd, 2010.


This is one of my favorite locations. I wanted to wait for some crystal clear skies and a little bit warmer weather before my return. So when that day came I broke my Sunday exploring rule and went on a Friday. Still a great time, although a lot of foot traffic and maintenance workers around.

Abandoned Youth Detention Center

Explored! January 18th, 2010

This place just shut down in 2009 shortly after Maya Angelou paid a visit to the facility in May. So it looks pretty much the same way that it did while it was in operation. All the lights were still on, A/C was on FULL BLAST (it was freezing in the buildings), and even the football field scoreboard was lit up! Excellent waste of tax money...

This was a youth detention center for teenagers awaiting trial in Washington DC - it was infamous for shady teachers, escaped inmates, and poor living conditions. A new active site is right up the road, leaving this place ripe for exploring..
