Today, I added jails that do not fit my definition of a calaboose.  Since I spent time visiting and documenting them I want to share the information with others who might be interested.  The one in Trinity is in very poor condition and I would not be surprised to see it demolished someday.  It is, in my opinion, important to document as many historic buildings as possible while they are still standing regardless of condition.  The floor plan of this particular jail is unlike any of the others I have seen and I am grateful to have the opportunity to visit it.  Two of the jails were used to transport prisoners to work in the fields or on the roads.  They were pulled with animals or trucks and they represent an interesting variation from the norm.  The jail in Memphis qualifies as a calaboose by its overall appearance and size but the fact that it is described on the Sanborn map as a “road camp” places it (in my opinion) in a different category.  It is the only one I have seen with this designation.  I also wrote a bit about myself in the “Author” section and may add more later.
