Top 5 Scariest Abandoned Prisons in the United States

By Justin Meyers

Though the article originally states these are the "top 5 scariest abandoned prisons from around the world", I would think "North America" would be more appropriate, since they all reside within the United States. On the list are:

Moundsville West Virginia Penitentiary

Historic Gothic-style building with towers and arched entrance.

Ohio State Reformatory, also known as Mansfield Reformatory

Historic castle at night with stone architecture and a central tower.

Frontier Prison from Rawlings, Wyoming

Staircase leading to a building with barred windows.

Eastern State Penitentiary

Abandoned prison corridor with old doors and peeling walls.

Alcatraz from San Francisco

Alcatraz Island with historical buildings and scenic background.
