The first time we went to the jail we used the spiral staircase to get to the second floor, a couple of years later they built the outside stairs and wouldn't let people use the spiral ones anymore. They were pretty shaky when we used them.<br /> Did the guide also mention that bad fire that happened in 1982 in the jail. I guess it was terrible, 7 died and 29 were injured when prisoners who had dug a tunnel to escape were caught in the act and they started the fire not realizing they were sealing their own fate .<br /><br />Yes, there used to be an art gallery upstairs at one time. We went to a few art shows there and also some on the main floor. This was several years ago now. They were going to make it into a museum; but I haven't heard anything about that lately.
