  • This place is now known as Fort Augusta Adult Correctional Centre for Women. As a visitor there i experienced with the prisoners that they see ghosts at night time!It may be a scary place, a load of bad experiences, but the only thing you can do when you're locked between the gates of hell and the cold running waters tha surround you is: "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST,LIFE ABOVE EVERYTHING THE PAIN THE SWEAT THE TEARS THE UNOBVIOUS TIME" Anybody can be anywhere and by the history of this place alot of stories that have never been told still lie in this place.
