July 24 - Prison Tour



Cell Block A
Cell Block B - It was this dark even when prisoners lived here.
Cell Block C - The most haunted cell block


The white spots are toothpaste globs used to hang photos, etc.
Cell in Cell Block B

The kitchen.  The dining room is on the right.

Weird painting - the sheep on the right actually appears to turn his head and look at you as you pass by.

The gallows is behind these doors.

Galen and I in the gas chamber where nine men were put to death.  Creepy, huh?

Sad story.  This young girl was seized with an urge to kill someone while making pies.  She poisoned one of the pies and the next day put it in her father's lunch.  Her father died and she went to prison.  She said she didn't know why she killed him.

July 23 - Wyoming Historic State Pen

After being kicked out of the RVer unfriendly town of Sinclair at 8:15 p.m., we moved on to Rawlins and parked in front of the prison for the night.
