Jail of 1885 — Attraction in Fredericksburg

When I was a child My Dad, Bill Ahrlett, was working on the jail and I was with Him.. I remember asking Him, what's it like to be in jail? He said I'll show You Son.. So He opened up the cell door and closed and locked it, after I had entered.. LOL Then He went out side and acted like He left.. I started Yelling "Dad", and He came right in and let Me out..😭 He then told Me that's what it's like, except They won't let You out cuz Your yelling! 😀. He was a Smart Man.. You would figure That would of kept Me out of jail from then on... No such luck!! I wasn't smart enough to listen to His advice and learn the easy way.. HaHa, I never returned to the inside of That cell again, but I "Reviewed" " the inside of the not quite as old one across the street, and the nice and new one that's in use today... I pray that this is my last review of any jail from the inside and if there's ever another one it would be from the outside...

But I didn't give it 3 stars cuz of that, I gave it 3 stars because some spirit has legitimately been following me since then and I can't seem to...

If you are a history buff, this site is for you. Just standing outside and walking the grounds makes you reflects back to how hard it must have been in those times and how good we have it today. Anybody who has been inside a jail 🤐 can tell you that even jails today do not compare to punishment...
