There was not a "prison", per say. It was the 3rd story of the depot downtown where they give tours today. The upstairs was closed for many years. It has been reopened fairly recently, and the soldiers that were there wrote on the walls. It is covered by plexiglass to protect it. There is some artwork on the wall also from the soldiers too. Hope this helps.
