Missouri State Penitentiary-Jefferson City MO - Retired Prisons on Waymarking.com

The old Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City MO has been closed for a few years and is partially torn down. A Federal Building is being built on part of the grounds. The prison was used from 1836 to 2004. It housed some infamous prisoners and had a population as high as 5000 inmates.

Tours of this historic prison are now offered see (visit link) for details. When we took the tour our guide was a former warden of the prison. Take this opportunity as the fate of the prison is unknown and could be completely torn down.
