    I thought that escaping wild west jail is easy. You just wait till the sheriff/ deputy falls asleep and then use a broom thats conveniently located near the bars to take the keyring and open the door

    Thanks again Santee & Co . I was a Navy MP for a couple of years or shore duty between sea duty assignments . I've cuffed a few suspects and put them in temporary holding cells in our MP Headquarters . We would routinely detain and cuff suspects , call their command and transfer them to thir Master At Arms . One night I had cuffed a suspect with his hands behind his back and sat him on a bench beside the Watch Commander . He complained that the cuffs were too tight and the bench was pushing the cuffs into his spine . The Assistant Base Security Officer showed up and inspected the cuffs , found them within regulations , told him to quit complaining and to sit forward . Rather than put him in a cell , we decided to call his ship and transfer him into the custody of their Master At Arms . Before his ship's MA arrived the detainee bolted for the emergency rear door , pushed the crossbar and ran down the hill towards the main gate . A nearby patrol van was alerted , then the MP in the van reported that the escaper had faceplanted on the road . The MP took him back into custody then called for an ambulance to treat his facial and head wounds . His minor infraction of military discipline that would have resulted in a light punishment became a much more serious legal and medical issue .

    It was a lot harder to escape when you were thrown into one of the prisons that used the Pennsylvania Prison style. Those were the 19th Century equivalent to today's Super-Max prisons. Prisoners could go weeks without actually seeing another prisoner in those prisons. They were more common back east though due to the cost to build them. The prototype for the design was partially developed by Benjamin Franklin in the late 18th Century. It was one of the last major projects that he was involved in.

      @@ArizonaGhostriders If you want more information on it, look up the Walnut Street Jail, later named the Walnut Street Prison. It was the prototype for the Pennsylvania system of prisons. Famous prisons that initially were based on it were Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Moundsville State in Moundsville, WV, and Attica State, in N.Y. All three were slowly renovated away from the model as criminal justice shifted away from punishment and towards rehabilitation in the very late 19th and early 20th Centuries. What is even crazier about these prisons is that they were usually ran by Quakers before there was an official Department of Corrections.

    Can’t remember where, but I’ve been to a town that had a “jail tree” - miscreants were chained to a big ass tree in the middle of town. Also saw the “jail rock” - a huge boulder with an eyebolt that bad boys were attached to. And another town that couldn’t afford bars for their new jail so they omitted windows entirely. All in Arizona I think.

    I was in prison for a little more then 22 year's, the walls and door's were very thick. The guard and I were always fighting, but I managed to escape through divorce!! To give Hickok 45 his due, life is good! Ruger Rich
