Enjoy this small series of photos from the abandoned Cresson Sanatorium and Prison.
Cresson Prison Clinic
Here is another photo from the abandoned Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution (SCI) Cresson. I assume this was a medical clinic exam room???? If not, I don’t want to know what happened in this room over time.
Cresson Prison Tunnels
During our time at the abandoned Pennsylvania SCI (State Correctional Institution) Cresson prison facility, I spent a little time exploring the underground tunnels by myself. No electricity, so my flashlight was the only light source. Just a little creepy.

Here is another photo from my recent exploration of the abandoned prison in central Pennsylvania. The SCI Cresson campus is interesting for a number of reasons. This photo isn’t the typical prison photo, if there is such a thing. But I liked this perspective.
SCI Cresson
Yesterday I got a chance to explore the abandoned SCI (State Correctional Institution) Cresson campus in central Pennsylvania. The State closed this prison in 2013. Along with being a prison it was also a mental hospital in the past (before being a prison) and before that it was a TB sanatorium. The sanatorium opened in 1912 after 500 acres was donated to the cause. It was originally known as Allegheny Tuberculosis Sanatorium.
Towards the end of the day, I found the solitary confinement area of the prison. All the cells had a normal prison bed, but not this one. How bad do you have to be to get assigned to this cell? I’m guessing very very bad. I can’t imagine being chained to this bed.
