In this episode, we’ll explore the history of the Old Stone Jail in Wayne County, built in 1859. Carol Dunn will tell us about the jail itself examining its stone construction, design features to prevent escapes, and the reasoning behind its location. She’ll also describe what life would have been like for anyone unlucky enough to be confined within its cells.
