That's not the prison you are passing after you turned around on 4420 road. That is OFC which is the facility that replaced the old OFC/Eastern State Hospital. The facility on the other side of road 4420 and 250 road is a female drug and alcohol treatment center. The correctional facility is just a little further East on 250 road. The prison grounds sit just to the North of the old ESH grounds. Some of the prison buildings were part of the old ESH. I worked at Eastern State Hospital for over 10 years. I worked for the Department of Corrections for 20 years.
I’m familiar with this area in 1979.
You are not missing much, but ...
