We took the kids to the old Idaho Penitentiary last week. I wasn't sure at first whether I wanted to actually take them through there, but I am glad we did. The kids loved taking the tour! It was kinda neat being able to see what the inside of a prison was like. This one had a 'tattoo parlor' that showed a lot of their 'artwork'.There were over 13,000 inmates in the 100 years that it was open. 13,000 inmates is probably nothing compared to the numbers now days! What I found interesting was that kids were actually put in prison back then too. The youngest of the inmates was a 10 year old for killing a man and an 11 year old(who spent 9 yrs there) for shooting his mother!
Solitary Confinement~~
Hayden was pretending he was holding this gun! lol
The Gallows~~In 100 years, there were 10 men that were hung.
As we were walking out of one of the cell blocks, Ethan says "I want to be good from now on so I won't ever have to live here!" He's a very smart little man! :)
