Inside Fort Madison Prison A Tour Of Its Silent Walls
A detailed 1860s style tour describes Fort Madison Iowa prison grounds, walls, and wards. The piece notes the warden Helsey and Deputy Reynolds, the disciplined regime, the dining hall, hospital, workshops, and cell blocks with 162 cells and 360 capacity. It observes labor, religious services, guard oversight, and the stark living quarters, plus monthly convict labor values and population changes since 1866.
