ESP is a cool place to visit. They are where the name penitentiary came from, and despite them supposedly trying to reform prisoners it was hell there..

The prisoners had zero communication with each other as they weren't allowed to talk and they were kept in concrete cells with closed double doors. The only window in their cell was a tiny skylight called 'the eye of god'

One of the times my husband and I went there back in the early 2000s and they had an art installation called "ghost cats" and there were life sized white cat statues placed around the prison because there used to be a cat or two back when it was a prison that lived there to catch mice.

Ghost cats? My husband worked there when it was first offering tours and we locked up some nights. That place used to be full of 3 spooky things: bats, rats and REAL cats

Yeah, it was a really cool art installation!

I think the spookiest thing is parking around there. Lol

Sounds like the cats aren't doing their jobs with those rats. Laziness.
