Hey! It's your host, Hagen. In this episode of Buried but Not Boring, I dive into the grim history and ghost stories of Illinois’ most infamous lockup. Riots, escapes, creepy EVPs, and ghosts who clearly didn’t get the “don’t touch” memo.

It’s prison history with a paranormal twist—and trust me, this one gets weird.
