Abandoned Prisons Get New Life | Montpelier News

Description

The shuttering of New York’s old Moriah Shock prison marks the end of an era—and a chance to reinvent abandoned state facilities. With crews cutting power, boarding windows, and guarding against vandalism, officials are eyeing these sites for redevelopment, including Camp Gabriels. Governor Kathy Hochul supports turning them into community assets, even proposing a constitutional amendment to fast-track the process—though voters won’t see it on ballots until 2029. It’s a bold plan to breathe new life into decaying structures and avoid the fate of other forgotten prisons.
