Old Idaho Penitentiary

URL: http://www.idahohistory.net/oldpen.html
Description: Boise, ID

Idaho Territory was less than ten years old when the territorial prison was built east of Boise in 1870. The penitentiary grew from a single cellhouse into a complex of several distinctive buildings surrounded by a high sandstone wall. Convicts quarried the stone from the nearby ridges and completed all the later construction.
