I can't even begin to describe my enthusiasm for visiting the old Boise prison. It closed in the 1970's after some riots ended with two buildings having their insides burned out.
This is inside one of the earliest cell blocks - build 1899. Stacked 4 levels.
The industrial laundry facilities.
Solitary confinement. Which apparently was not all that solitary - in early years they packed several people in these little rooms. With creepy doors.
Burned out chapel.
Burned out kitchen and dining hall.
Can we please bring back loafing over loitering?
After the prison, up table rock we went. Lovely views of the city.
It was an absolutely fantastic time!
