Brown Bag Travelogue: Missouri State Penitentiary

Sit back, relax and explore a new place from the comfort of your own home. The topic for this session is Missouri State Penitentiary. Tod Jackson presents his ghost and history tour of the Missouri State Penitentiary located in Jefferson City, Missouri! This sprawling complex, nicknamed "The Wall," was the longest continuously-operated prison in the U.S. until its closure in 2004 and was considered, "the bloodiest 47 acres in America." This program will feature the penitentiary's long complex history and some paranormal occurrences.
