Built in the 1850s and abandoned in 2002, the Old Joliet Prison is a former correctional facility with a rich history predating the Great Chicago Fire. Made up of over 30 separate buildings, the fortress-like exterior is clad with the locally mined Joliet Limestone. Since the State of Illinois shut down, the facility almost two decades ago, ongoing deterioration and vandalism have resulted in substantial damage to the facility.
