ID: the corrections photo gallery

From the spring 2005 edition of BSU's Idaho Issues Online, scenes from the Idaho gulag, past and present:

Gallery home, including

Dangerous Place: the biohazard that was the first Idaho Penitentiary; and

Marked Men: getting ink done in the joint.

The Old Pen is a popular and somewhat odd tourist draw now. When I was a kid, I lived less than a mile from it, and I remember the night of the 1973 riot, seeing the glow from the flames in the sky above Table Rock.
