Graeme Alford Buys Former Jail Cell
November 5, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Dream Homes at 12:00 pm | Comments »
It takes a very special person to not only buy a jail cell, but buy a jail cell where they spent time, but Australian Graeme Alford is an extraordinary man.
Alford spent several years in Pentridge Prison for embezzlement & bank robbery. When the prison closed in 1997 & became a wine cellar of sorts, the former prisoner bought up the property for somewhere around $46 million.
I guess you can take the man away from the jail, but you can’t take the jail away from the man?
