Switchboard, Old Prison Museum, Deer Lodge, Montana

On the National Register of Historic Places, the Old Montana Prison was built by inmate labor and was home to at least one member of Butch Cassidy's "Wild Bunch". Iron bars slammed shut and locked for the first time on July 2, 1871. Emptied of prisoners in the late 1970s, the buildings stand now as silent sentinels to justice.
