The Missouri State Penitentiary was a prison in Jefferson City, Missouri, that operated from 1836 to 2004. Part of the Missouri Department of Corrections, it served as the state of Missouri's primary maximum security institution. Before it closed, it was the oldest operating penal facility west of the Mississippi River. It was replaced by the Jefferson City Correctional Center, which opened on September 15, 2004.

Still owned by State of Missouri, The Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) opened in 1836 along the banks of the Missouri River in Jefferson City, Missouri, the state capital. The prison housed inmates for 168 years and was the oldest continually operating prison west of the Mississippi until it was decommissioned in 2004. Now the Jefferson City Convention & Visitors Bureau offers a wide variety of tours at the site, once named the “The bloodiest 47 acres in America” by Time Magazine.
In 1831 Jefferson City’s hold on the capital city status was a tenuous one. To ensure that it remained the seat of government, Governor John Miller suggested a prison be built in Jefferson City. Construction began in 1834 and the first inmate arrived in 1836. From then on the prison became famous for being one of the most efficient in the country…and infamous for its notorious inmates and the 1954 riot on its grounds.
A former Union General, the first train robber, 1930s gangsters, world champion athletes, and the assassin that killed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all came through the gates of the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) as inmates. Some left MSP for successful careers in the arts, sports, and even state government; others chose a life of more crime.
In September of 1937, Governor Lloyd Crow Stark signed a bill calling for execution by lethal gas. No longer would the local sheriff be responsible for carrying out the death penalty for those convicted in his county. The days of public hangings in Missouri were to finally come to an end. Many members of the legislature were strongly opposed to the bill and argued that more death sentences would result. Nevertheless, Missouri was, on the whole, a state that supported the death penalty for serious crimes. The bill was changed to lethal gas instead of the electric chair, and passed. In total, 40 inmates were put to death in the gas chamber between 1937 and 1989 when MSP death row ended and all capital punishment inmates were moved to the new prison at Potosi.
In 1985, officials from the MSP, the Department of Corrections, and the Division of Adult Institutions unearthed an old cell block that predated the Civil War. The discovery happened after a court order was issued to put in a recreation yard for offenders that were on death row. When the construction between Housing Units 2 and 3 began, and the crews started digging, they realized they hit something solid. This finding led to an exploration of six cells built around 1848, which were part of the long-buried Centennial Hall. Based on research, this is now believed to be the oldest existing building on the MSP property.
From the earliest days there was a need to isolate the female convicts that came to the Missouri State Penitentiary. Unfortunately, there was little provision for their incarceration. A number of female federal prisoners were sent to MSP because there were no federal facilities for women at the time. Their crimes were, in many cases, violations of immigration, naturalization or conspiracy laws, which coincided with the heightened fears during WWI.
During the years of 1953 and 1954 there had been a rash of prison riots across the United States. Many feared the Missouri system was ripe for an outbreak as well. The potential for riot became a popular topic of conversation which the Missouri Highway Patrol took very seriously, drafting a plan and training officers how to respond to such an event. The advance preparation would come in handy before long.
Keeping desperate and restless people behind bars will always present challenges to corrections officials. Early in the Missouri State Penitentiary’s history escapes were commonplace. Between a lack of a secure perimeter and prisoners working in the community, many escapes were accomplished without much planning or ingenuity.
In conjunction with the Missouri State Penitentiary tours, the museum residing in the lower-level of the Col. Darwin W. Marmaduke House provides additional historical information about the famous prison that operated for 168 years. The museum houses MSP memorabilia as well as a replica cell that demonstrates the living conditions at the prison. Visitors can view the many displays that provide information on prison industries, contract labor/private industries, life inside the walls and control/counter-control as well as items on loan from former Deputy Warden Mark Schreiber.

Ballerinas, early homesteaders and Native Americans are depicted in the mural atop the north wall inside the capitol building. This one in particular has very vibrant colors. It is one of my favorites. A State Senator told me it is his favorite piece too.

These are taken inside the Hungarian State Opera House. I wanted to see the actual theater room, which ought to be the most beautiful in the world, but it was under construction. It didn't say so on the website at the time but I was told when I was about to buy the tickets, inside the place.
So that lady at the counter was like: "ey yo ehhh, you can't see the actual theater, which is being renovated, but instead we have a surprise act, is that okay with you?". You still had to pay top dollar for this so I know I was being scammed but it was raining so where was I gonna go? Me: "yes lady I have no place to go."
So they showed us some pretty interiors from inside the place and at the end they had two opera singers perform for like 15 minutes and I tell you no lie: that was super impressive and well worth to dineros. So yeah, I'm a opera fan now :)

I'm standing on the State Line between New York and Massachusetts. Before 1961, this place was once very busy. The New Haven used to interchange traffic with the New York Central here. A small yard existed west of here. By 1986, Conrail single tracked the old NYC Boston Line. Any evidence of the New Haven is long gone.

Washington State was such a shock with how different the landscape was. It was interesting to see a mix of familiar birds along with so many new ones. The little Chipping Sparrows were acting like they do at home....little suburban birds :)
There are very few heritage rail lines in Texas. However, we managed to make an overnight trip to see the Texas State Railroad operation through the Piney Woods between Palestine and Rusk. In this photo, TSR125 runs passes the currently out-of-use Maydelle Station building. The General Motors Diesel was built in 1957 for Canadian National Railways as their 6521. Going through several ownership and number changes, she ended up in Texas in 2018. The current livery is inspired by the 'Texas Special', a passenger train service operated by both the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway and the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, also known as the Frisco.
