 Territorial
Prison Museum
The Territorial Prison Museum &
Park In Canon City...
 The
territorial prison in Canon City opened its doors for business in
1871. The institution executed 77 individuals during its operation.
The prison was the site of riots and brought the city into a national
spotlight just as it would today. In addition, this institution housed
famous criminals such as Alfred Packer (the only man convicted of
cannibalism).
Exhibits include: the actual hangman's noose of the last man executed
by hanging in Colorado, confiscated inmate weapons and contraband
, the gas chamber, historic photographs depicting life behind bars,
and a Federal Bureau of Poisons display.
The prison museum preserves and presents the history and evolution
of western prisons.
