Do not spend a dime in the hell hole, do not even drive through it if you have a choice. They let sick individuals off from serious crimes with little punishment . I can only imagine the movie children of the corn or the movie the village when i picture this nasty place.

Looks huge from outside, I was a bit surprised when I opened the door to have a Metal Detector and “Security” guard RIGHT THERE😳😳😳 With another Metal Detector directly across the opposite entrance, with ANOTHER security guard..less than 20 ft apart😳😳😳 I only stayed on the first floor. He was just very intimidating and very uncomfortable. I’m interested in historic places, but I didn’t leave the first floor. I took a couple of pictures, used the potty and got the heck out..I’m from Dallas Fort Worth area and I have been to lots of areas, in that crime ridden section of Texas ….but this little place just gave me the EeeeBeeeJeeeBeeZ😎😎😎
