Cool! I've spent a handful of nights there over the last 6 years.

Other than visiting Mansfield Reformatory, last year I had to visit the Michigan prison that makes all of the license plates for the entire state of Michigan, in order to quote some die tooling. In order to get into the prison, I had to strip down and get searched, then be outfitted with a panic button that I could press should something bad happen. Then I had to be escorted by the prison workshop foreman through several yards and areas where we were vastly outnumbered by prisoners who were roaming around on recess or whatever they call it when you're let out into the yard. These prisoners were not max security lifers, but it still felt uncomfortable. Nothing happened though. I left and submitted my quote. After all that, I didn't get the job because my price was too high, LOL.

I've spent 5 nights there doing the same. If you want to have an experience, even if you're a skeptic or a cynic, you should try it.

That wouldn't have happened to be the Dearborn Historical Museum would it? They had a room of mannequins in the basement. I wandered in there in the middle of the night and was like WTF?
