Talk about a deterrent for crime!!!
What must it have been like to sit in this jail in the triple-digit heat of an Oklahoma summer, or the sub-zero cold in winter.
This jail has concrete walls, roof and floor, with heavy iron gratings in the windows and over the door. It is approximately 8 ft. x 10 ft. and maybe 7 ft. in height. There are absolutely no amenities. There are two pipes sticking out of the east wall which may mean it had a sink or urinal at one time.
No information was available as to when the use of this jail ended.
