Joel and Natalie look into the history of the BC Penitentiary, which used to exist in our home town of New Westminster! Natalie narrates this one! Listen along, and gasp with Joel!
We discover the many, many riots that occurred in the BC Penitentiary (not that long ago), some of its colourful characters and colourful hostage situations, and a longing for Colin Mochrie and Stuart Mclean!
