Gas chamber.

Wyoming Frontier Prison Museum

Really creepy but cool prison. Wish I could have been in town for the late night tour, which was to take place on Friday the 13th. This place is spooky enough in the daylight so I can't imagine how scary it would have been to see at night.

If you want to get a picture of yourself sitting in the gas chamber, you better do it fast. The tour guide closes the gas chamber door shut and moves on pretty quickly. I was fast, so I got my picture, but I was the only one.

Lots of really bad guys were housed in this prison. The tour guide covers some of the more spectacular stories.

Gas chamber.

Gas Chamber, Wyoming Frontier Prison

Although visitors are allowed and encouraged to sit in this Gas Chamber, I didn't. Those who have sat in this chair were unable to get out of it on their own.

Because the seat is low, or because you closed the door on them?
