- Summary
- The Missouri State Penetentiary was established in 1833 via a bill passed by the state legislature and closed on September 15, 2004. It was considered one of the largest maximum-security penal institution in the United States. The penitentiary had the distinction of housing some very famous individuals: boxing champion Sonny Liston, infamous gangster Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd, and James Earl Ray. The history of the facility is seen through images mostly taken from the holdings of the Missouri State Archives.
