One of 3 territorial prisons in the U.S., it opened in 1872 with room for 84 prisoners and dedicated to "evildoers of all classes and kinds," the prison held the most notorious outlaws of Wyoming. It is the only prison to ever house Butch Cassidy.

This is a room in the Warden's house.

A western heritage park was built around the prison so travelers could experience a typical day for a wild west criminal.

The Processing Room (don't know if you can read the signs below). The prisoners were photographed, assigned a number, issued a prison uniform and where the prison rules were explained and the punishment for not conforming and assigned to their cell.  

The kitchen room was added during an expansion in 1889.  Prison trustees prepared food for the convicts consisting of bread, oatmeal, potatoes, boiled meat; beans, vegetables when in season, and some canned foods and soups.  

The dumbwaiter on the back wall was used to transport food to the dining hall above.

The prison had numerous pictures of convicts posted throughout the place, the most notorious of which was Butch Cassidy.
