I reckon the ghost's of the inmates would be out at night,,,i have toured Fremantle prison at night,,, very scary!

Place reminds me of Williamstown Primary School back in the early 1970's, just cyclone wire instead of bars.

A prison must command fear. With its high walls and central location Pentridge did just that. Who even sees the new prison? So it doesn't have the same psychological effect on deterring crime.

You are boring say something anything ,

Only in Australia would they turn a prison into a shopping center, and cinema... For me, I have too many memories of Pentridge as a prison, and a place in which people were hanged. I remember going around pentridge when they had opened it up to the public after they had closed the prison... And I found it incredibly depressing and somewhat distressing experience.

Ned Kelly's bone's were reburied there after the old Melbourne goal was closed down

I worked here for a number of years It was an absolute shit hole for both screws and crims.

Number plates

Chopper bailed

Now there us a skyscraper sticking out the middle of it.

Did Ronald Ryan kill George Hodson?

What is the music? Very nice

I used to drive past the old place on my way to work ,was lucky i went for a tour b4 they turned it into housing

Spent time there in 77

I was there for three months in 94 that was just about as long as I could stand

As with Freo and, eg, Boggo Road, it should not have been closed, it was for many, feared.

Boring

Depressing place. I think it is a good thing they closed it.

when they put the new part in does anybody know what happened to the graves of the prisoners

All these older gaols were fully self contained, sustained & self sufficient?. From cookhouses to coal fired boiler rooms? . From jail kitchens to jail laundries?. From prison chapels to metal & maintenance shops?. From clinic wards & hospitals to screws quarters & governor's house, all on the prison grounds?. All was made & done right inside these walls, truely a seperate world from the one outside of the walls?. Nothing was contracted out or privatised, no one come in from the outside that wasn't wearing green or blue?. Visits were strictly controlled usually held at the front gatehouse, no such thing as contact visits back then?. Wow, you knew you were in jail back then, & in every way?. But it was real & you made some lifetime friends & comrades, this is where the plastic is seperated from the steel, & there is no wood in between the plastic & steel??.

"Hands on traps"

I bet Dan hasn’t kept this around for it’s historical value 🤔

They’ve changed the front sign. It was, H.M. PENTRIDGE

i was an inmate in the nineties 3 times, i was in one of the last van loads of prisoners to be moved to a country jail from Pentridge or "her majesties hotel", in those last months the place really fell apart, it was a God forsaken hellhole, i was in on my third trip due to thefts to support a bad heroin habit, these days there are better treatments for addiction and we all eventually grow up if the universe allows it. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Interesting trip down memory lane.

Victorian Idiots for selling out and knocking down a building that should have been heritage listed.

IM GOING TO MARRY TOBY AND HIS CHINESE RUSSIAN MONGOLS AM I #THOMAS AND #DONNA WAITE?! YOU TWO ARE FUCKING PATHETIC! I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE DEAD AND THE COURTS CANT SERVE AN AVO ON DEAD PEOPLE, ITS TOO LATE THEY SAID.... SO WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING STALKING ME ALL NIGHT WITH THE FUCKING KING, HIS PATHETIC ROYAL FAMILY AND HIS PETS THE HELLS ANGELS THEN?! YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING IDIOTS! YOU TWO ARE JUST A FUCKING COURT DATE!

Ruined a great part of coburgs history ….I lived there for 30 years and remember as a teenager walking to the coburg pools always on the opposite side of the prison and hearing prisoners from the yard! Now it looks like a shopping centre.I’m my opinion it should have become a museum to preserve the building and left in its original state. Unfortunately Money always wins!

Dirty old hole..... Every night, Every night, was filmed there.... 😉🍺🇳🇿

If only the tunnel could talk......😵‍💫🙈🙉🙊

Why dont they clean the place up a bit ?

They closed geelong jail in 92 pentridge was open till 97

My name is on the list in the Box. (Brian Vallance)

I know something about the prison that I don't think you know...its something that I found in 1984. 1985

I have one of choppers letters he sent from here. The year he shot the Turk. He sent it to his father from H division. In the letter it’s stated that he thought murder should be a “5 bob fuckin fine” and that god was on “his side, not the Turks” and “ stop sending letters to the homacide squad, they are starting to build a nut file on you”

If you could only come up with ned kelly and choppa read you did no research for this vid. The last man hanged in australia Ronald ryan escaped from pentridge. Alot of the worst crims in aussie were kept and killed here

If those walls could talk.

I don’t remember Eric Bana being a resident

LikeALook great video mate...sorry bout the Euoros

🙌🏼

👍

I worked here sometimes and was here to remove the final prisoners to Barwon with my offsider David Prideaux. We were both dog handlers in the Dog Squad.

I new it all. Thanks.

is there a skate ramp there

You could have put chopps real picture

Noiice

No no no no. Ya cant polish a turd. Pentridge was the biggest shithole in Victoria. Either pull it down or leave it as a shithole. Making it some hybrid resi/museum. Get fucked.

Great content & expertly filmed

A very good and interesting video!
