The Jail at Mountain Village 1890

     Called a "hot box," this all metal building would have been used to house hard-to-handle prisoners or escapees.   The jail would have been placed in direct sunlight with no shade and no protection from wind, rain or snow.

     Originally from Calico Rock, Arkansas, this jail was used in the filming of the movie, The Bootleggers.
