Jessica recounts some of the most fascinating stories from the prison’s history — including Fannie Marsh, who became warden at just nineteen years old; Butch Cassidy, who served his only prison sentence within these very walls; and the heartwarming story of Chaplain Dr. May Preston Slosson, whom the prisoners lovingly called “Little Mother.”
