Description
A strap iron gate at the entry into the 1876 Storey County Jail (Virginia City, Nevada). The locks still work. Behind this gate is a solid steel door with a feeding hatch. Back in those days, justice was sometime swift as evidenced by the few hangings having occurred behind the jail.

Seems a few of the 1800s jails in this vicinity are surprisingly intact.
Doug Gist replied:
I operated a museum inside that jail for seven years. Amazingly the county used that jail as a jail into the 1980s.
