The Old Monterey Jail is now open as a free Museum daily 10 to 4...and on display in one of the cells is this Spanish guitar. A placard at the site quotes a passage from Walter Colton's book "Three Years in California" in which he recalls two prisoners requested to have their guitar to fight the loneliness ...a request that was complied with.
