Episode 197: "The Tombs: Horror in New York’s Most Notorious Jail"
Description
Beneath the streets of Lower Manhattan lies a legacy built on corruption, misery, and decay. Known for nearly two centuries as “The Tombs,” New York City’s infamous municipal jail has seen it all — from public hangings and botched escapes to riots, suicides, and scandals that shook the city’s justice system to its core. We trace The Tombs’ story from its foundations atop the poisoned remains of Collect Pond to the modern Manhattan Detention Complex.
