 |  | 1800's Country Jail
< on 10/6/2008 3:33 PM >
|  | | | This report, pictures and words, is from the Stooges: Niteskye,
Moss Man and Captain Jack.
This place lies well off the beaten track and is only known to a few
Only our unique entry skills allowed us to break into jail.
The jail was built in 1869 just after the US Civil War, when prison meant punishment.
It was last used in the early 70’s. Because of its small rooms and massive
masonry construction it was not suitable for conversion to other uses.
The cell block has sat vacant ever since. An old post card
shows the jail and some other buildings, long gone. The one to the rear
a shoe manufacturing plant where the more trustworthy inmates could work
during the day. Even the drudgery of factory work must have been a welcome
break from the tiny cramped airless cells in the jail.
1.
It’s solid…. thick brick and stone walls with steel doors and reinforcements.
2.
3.
The 3 story two sided brick and steel cell block has 10, (4 person) cells on each tier.
At one end are 5 somewhat larger more deluxe cells. At capacity well over 100 people
had their freedom curtailed inside these walls.

The cells are small. No larger than a modest homes bathroom. Ceiling of brick
And steel so low I could just barely stand up in the center. Each one could hold
4 prisoners. They are so small with such a small door that I had to do a little photo
shopping to put two sides together Photo shopped or not this is an accurate representation
of the size of the room. No windows either, just a door.

7.
There where 4 slightly larger cells on one end each with a small barred window.
These windows are visible on the right side of the first picture.
Deluxe metal beds.
Better accommodations for celebrity prisoners?

This safe like door had an additional 2 metal locking cross bars. It opened into the “recreation area” which contained the support structure for what must have been a well used punching bag

This rounded door was cool. After unlocking a safe like solid steel door
The guard could stay behind this half round iron cage and get a look at
what was going on.

I can't imagine being trapped in that room with 3 other guys. Talk about getting to know each other very intimately.

grit your teeth in the face of fear. self repression is the true sign of a coward, toss your inhibitions to the wind. |

| | | | Wow, very very very nice! What a great find, I've never seen photos of it before. Looks like a great day, and I assume it was the fruit of extensive researching labors.
