Apparently you can tour the facility, but I haven't been able to find out what their plans for the building and space are. I'm sure the thought of moving the Kingston Penitentiary Museum to this space has been considered, but that being said it's on a very large, very expensive piece of real estate (so who knows what will happen). I agree that some care has to be taken in how we honour these landmarks, but when we have to prioritize what kinds of institutions get funding, where do jails fall? Some interesting questions!
