The women’s prison in Hillsborough County was the only “faith-based” women’s prison in Florida with a low recidivism rate of only 6%. Nevertheless, due to budget cuts the doors were officially closed in 2012. I wonder who were it’s inmates, where are they now…
It sits desolate and eerie yet the lights are still on.

Great photos! Were you able to get inside, or did you have to shoot through fences and windows? I bet it would be a great place to explore.

Thanks Jeff.. No, unfortunately it is locked but I sure checked every door in case one was open..I keep hoping to catch someone there (a janitor or someone) and beg them to let me in ..

Oh I’d love to get into places like this for a little “Urban Exploration,” but my wife would kill me if I got arrested for trespassing. If the doors were open however, I’d plead ignorance and hope for the best. But I sure wouldn’t be breaking in.

I wonder if it seemed as depressing when it was functioning. I can understand the low return rate! Great photo essay. –Curt

When I zoomed in with the iPad the glazing and light effects in your first shot were truly eerie. Thanks for the great post.
