  • I am with a local club that was to be able to come out and tour your Prison. For some reason we are being told the trip is off for the 10th of this mo. any chance of getting another time? Thank you Thomas J Wignall (Freethespiritroad.com)
  • Copeland Prison is now a private training facility and is no longer abandoned.
  • I *think* the private training facility moved to Imokalee and this is abandoned again
  • The property was foreclosed upon as the training and gun company did not pay any of their bills. It recently has been acquired and will be demolished to make way for a professional shooting facility.
