Today, we learned of another prison that was taken out of service and turned into a museum so we toured it like the one we did yesterday. I guess we are learning lots about prisons on this trip. The one we visited today is the Wyoming Frontier Prison Museum in Rock Springs. It was interesting. It was more recently closed (1981) than the Federal Territorial prison we visited yesterday. This prison was the location for some of the filming of the movie "The Prison".
We would like to thank everybody for the nice comments on the blog. Your comments make it really worth doing.

The main eating area. The murals were painted by an inmate.
People that had received the death penalty were either hanged or gassed in the gas chamber. Five people were put to death in this gas chamber.
