Originally build in the 1830s, this jail in Newark, NJ served as the county’s primary jail until around 1970 when a new jail was opened. This jail once housed as many as 300 prisoners. The administration house is no longer standing, but the jailing building remains. The walls/cells are falling apart, and the stairs are barely supportive. The jail cells are currently homes for several homeless people. Despite being empty of criminals, the building is still a dangerous place to be.
