1881 Reconstructed Globe Sheriff's Office
Pioneer Living History Museum
What were jails like in the old west? During the times of territorial Phoenix, jails were built around the state in order to maintain law and order, and house those who had violated the law. Some of them were built of brick or adobe, and contained an office for the sheriff and a jail cell. Some were just a jail cell, consisting of a barred door, and no windows. In the most crudest form, prisoners were tied to a tree or put in a pit. Check out the Sheriff's Office featured at Pioneer Living History Museum for a walk back in time.
