Website established February 1997

Hello! My name is Steve Wendl, curator of this little virtual museum. This website chronicles the history of this 138-year old maximum security Iowa prison, which is still in use today. Before you leave, please use one of the feedback forms around the site to let me know what you thought. Feel free to search the site, but remember that this is an unofficial history site, so information about current inmates is not available.

Thanks for visiting, and enjoy!
