Warkworth Institution may be sold and flattened.

Warkworth Ontario.

"CSC has estimated that the sale of Warkworth will equal the cost of demolition, Kingston Penitentiary will remain a heritage property and Millhaven will remain CSC property because of its proximity to the Bath Institution." ("A Roadmap to Strengthening Public Safety" by Rob Sampson, October of 2007, page 208/255,)
