Old Morgan Street Jail Meets Its Maker

The Morgan Street Jail, which sat just south of the interstate, and beside Oaklawn Cemetery, is fast being reduced to twisted steel and rubble. Right now it looks like what some of our major hurricanes left behind in 2004-5. First opened in 1964, this facility had seen better days when it was closed almost 5 years ago. The Florida Department of Transportation now owns the land. I hope big plans are in place for this prime downtown location to replace it with something much better for the citizens of Tampa.
