dude.. it was built in 1835. Looks like splendid accommodation for those that have committed crimes. I could care less if it was a bit "uncomfortable" for them.

In any case, your reference "not our finest moment", what is that alluding to? That as a country Canada did something wrong?

Kingston was a money pit, the cons ran the joint for years.

Prison at it's finest. I went through a phase of reading everything I could on the subject....OCD? Moi?
