Gila County Jail - Globe, AZ - Retired Prisons on Waymarking.com

"When the Gila County Courthouse originally was constructed, the Sheriff's office and a 16-cell jail occupied the basement floor. (The barred windows are still visible in the alley behind the courthouse.) But the jail immediately was overcrowded, and a new structure was built. Completed in 1910, a new jail was attached by a bridge to the Courthouse; the bridge was used to transport prisoners when the two buildings were in use. A pamphlet prepared by the Historic Globe Main Street Program warns that graffiti in the cell blocks is "intact, sensitive and not for everyone!" Today, the building is used for community events, including "Jailhouse Rock," and the annual "Ghosts of Globe Tour" at Halloween."
