Description

Once a notorious prison known for inhumane practices.

Location: 45.4247, -75.6887

A hostel operated by Hostelling International in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the Ottawa Jail Hostel is special because it was used to house prisoners before first closing its doors in 1972. Hostelling International saw the potential in the empty building and purchased it, converted it, and opened it for people passing through the area. The top floor, which was once used as a death row, has been restored to its original conditions so that visitors can tour the space.
