The Barrie Jail, sometimes referred to as the Barrie Bucket, located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, was a maximum-security facility housing offenders awaiting, trial, sentencing or transfer to federal and provincial correctional facilities, opened in 1841 and closed in 2001.[1] It was replaced by the Central North Correctional Centre in the nearby town of Penetanguishene. The jail was designed by Toronto architect Thomas Young who subscribed to the contemporary theory that a polygonal structure would make the occupants feel less confined.[2]
Movies
The jail served as the primary filming location for the movie Dark Reprieve (2008).[3]
