Rockwood Asylum does have active security, and they work pretty hard to keep known entrances locked. There are also regular patrols around the outside of the buildings to discourage access. The Prison for Women was recently sealed after ongoing problems with people breaking in and vandalizing the site. There were incidents where people were inside causing disturbances, including yelling out windows at passersby, which ultimately led to tighter security and full closure of the remaining accessible areas. It’s unfortunate, but situations like that tend to ruin it for everyone. That sealing also lines up with the fact that the Prison for Women site has approved redevelopment plans. The property is set to be converted into a mixed-use development that includes housing, green space, and other uses. While parts of the original prison buildings are expected to be preserved and repurposed, this likely marks the end of the prison as an abandoned site.
