Moundsville Penitentiary In West Virginia

The Moundsville Penitentiary in West Virginia was one of America's most violent correctional facilities. This building has been built over 100 years ago. It is known for being the final stop for almost 1,000 criminals. The criminals have lived in this building and led to riots. As a consequence of the riot, most of the prisoners were hanged or killed in the electric chair, while others were murdered by other prisoners. The prison closed in 1995, but according to some, the tortured spirits are still behind bars and in the bowels of the prison and may be seen or heard on a tour.
