I used to walk by there often on hikes up to Table Rock. Very scenic. I had no idea of its storied history.

My uncle was there in 1957 and in 1972 just before the riot. It's pictures in this program his name is Walter Cox I grew up hearing many many stories of the old Idaho State Penitentiary I've had a total of three uncles there. One story that is not even thought about today is back in the day there they had a cat named Charlie that would go from the 1-yard to the other yard

I was a childhood friend of Alfred Millinger who got a 180 day ryder for Pot. but ended up getting life in the riot for murder.

That was really a hoot! Just like Idaho. Thanks. They ought to put that on TV you know when you gotta kill a few minutes after a movie ends. Nowdays it's all garbage nothing to make you think.
