The

1871. The institution has witnessed 77 executions, had riots bring
the city into a national spotlight and housed famous criminals such
as Alfred Packer (the only man convicted of cannibalism).
Exhibits include the actual hangman's noose of the last man executed by hanging in Colorado, confiscated inmate Iapons and contriban, the gas chamber, historic photographs depicting life behind bars and a Federal Bureau of Poisons display. The prison museum preserves and presents the history and evolution of Western prisons. For more information call… (719) 269-3015.  Click here to go back to things to menu.
