One of Tennessee's most feared state prisons will be shutting down on June 11. It is the state's oldest operating prison. Brushy mountain opened in 1896 and is a maximum security prison. I've never had to go there (thankfully) but I have heard some real war stories that has happened there.
“The Brushy Mountain prison represents a remarkable chapter in the history of the TDOC,” said Commissioner George M. Little. “While the time has come to say goodbye to this grand institution, we are grateful to the citizens of Petros, Morgan County and the surrounding area for their support. "We commend the Brushy staff for their hard work and dedication and we look forward to many more accomplishments as we blend the old with the new at the Morgan County Correctional Complex.”
