Donegeal - Some property you may be interested in

SKOWHEGAN, Maine - If you're in the market for a roomy brick-and-stone Victorian - complete with some pretty impressive security features - look no further.

The Somerset County Jail in downtown Skowhegan is for sale.

The price: $200,000, with no extra charge for the razor-wire fencing.

The 1,300-square-metre lockup, built in 1897, is scheduled to shut down later this year when a new 200-bed county jail opens in Madison, Maine.

Tonya Allen, an assistant real estate broker, says a major selling feature is that the building is situated in the heart of downtown Skowhegan and has no zoning or permit-use restrictions.

Philip Roy, chairman of the Somerset County commissioners, says some ideas for the old jail include turning the property into a restaurant, an art gallery, a gift shop or even a bus station.

Thanks for looking out for me Wezil, but the commute between Maine and Wisconsin may be cost prohibitive.

That's a lot of square footage for the price.

That's a good deal. The security fence is the deal-maker.

Think of what a great vacation property this could be for you.

$200,000 vacation property!?!?! I KNOW you think cops are supermen, but how much do you think we get paid?

Honest cops, or regular cops?

Non-Chicago cops.

[Japher]

Honest cops = non-cop cops

[SlowwHand]

Dishonest cops are like any career crook, eventually they get caught.

[Nugog]

Or elected.
