Fascinating post...I agree with Patricia above--the jail I know best is Andy of Mayberry's . The jail cell in my town here in Illinois still stands from the 1860s but it is just a room used for storage now. It is on Main Street and inside an old limestone building which is presently used as a private driving school. Wish it was restored for posterity--maybe the historical society here will take up that cause. Hi Linda!

As for favorite jail - I showed the post to my husband and his response was Andy Griffith's Mayberry Jail. Many of my relative work or worked at a NY State maximum security prison. They have amenities, but they are not nice places to be. It is unsafe for both prisoners and guards at times. My bother worked at Attica.

I'm sorry for being so late reading your blog. It's so informative. I've been at the Mobeetie Jail, and it's truly awsome. Thanks for researching and sharing all of the great info.

I don't know, Linda. I don't think men were meant to be in cages. Oh, well. Oh, Linda, I finished your book just the other day -- I so loved their story -- I admit that your use of description and dialogue is really inspiring, but I think I love your use of metaphor -- can't spell the word -- best of all. Thanks for letting me read this wonderful story. Loved these photos and the blog — can you imagine being in one of those places. I don’t know, Linda. I don’t think men were meant to be in cages.

I had a fun time with this blog. And I learned some new things which never hurts. Life is all about learning. Bet that pioneer village near Asheville is something to see. If I happen to be in the vicinity some time I'll make it a point to stop. Hi Pat P,
