Adding on to William's statement. That did contribute, but there were also 94 executions, 7 I believe from the electric chair and the rest from hanging. In addition, many died from natural causes, disease, murders by the prisoners, and other causes. More than 750 people died there, so a very active place for paranormal activity.
The facility had a high death rate compared to others and maybe that may have contributed to the wrestles spirits, maybe?
Violent deaths. Mostly from hangings and prisoner confrontations.
From the murders commited by the prisoners.
