Urbex: Kingston Penitentiary Tour

This was a tour through the high security Kingston Penitentiary which just closed September 30, 2013 and opened in 1835 making the prison itself 178-years-old. It was considered the oldest operating prison before its closure. Kingston Penitentiary held Canada's most notorious criminals such as serial killers Paul Bernardo and Clifford Olson, and a famous Canadian bank robber, Tyrone Conn.

It was closed because the federal government said it is outdated and too expensive to run, so I guess you could say that these buildings have served their own time.

Its future is unknown, but because it is a Heritage Site, it cannot be demolished. I would personally like to see them use it for ongoing tours similar to Alcatraz, but don't believe that will be happening as they have it up for sale. A developer will likely transform the buildings into lakeside condos, but nobody knows as of yet.
