Powhatan Correctional Center

Virginia · USA · Church

The chapel was the infirmary. Officers in the towers outside repeatedly see a prisoner standing at the windows, and the officers sent in find nobody.

The chapel at Powhatan Correctional Center in Virginia occupies what was once the inmate infirmary. Windows run along three sides of the room, and those windows are visible from the security towers outside.

Officers in the towers have repeatedly reported seeing a prisoner standing at them, looking out.

Each time, officers inside are sent to check.

This is one of the better structured accounts in the archive, and the structure is the prison's own. A tower officer sees something, reports it up, and a second officer goes and looks, all of it logged. Two independent observers with different vantage points and a formal procedure between them is more than most sightings ever get.

An infirmary in a prison of this age was where men died. The facility is operational and closed to the public.
