Last weekend my family came to visit. While they where here we went to the Old Idaho State Pen. Some people find it to be a creepy place. I though it was neat.
This is the front entrance.
I love the old sandstone buildings. The prisoners actually did most of the construction.
This high tower is part of the entrance building. Not a place that the prisoners could go.
A riot in the 70's left some of the structures in ruins. This was a cafeteria that was designed by one of the prisoners.
Or in other words, GET BACK TO WORK.
This cell building is four stories tall. One of the prisoners decided not to let the State of Idaho execute him so he did the job him self via swan dive from the 4th floor.
This cell building is also four stories tall. You may notice the addition of a ceiling above the second floor. This is to prevent suicide attempts.
