We visited the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historical Park which is privately owned and operated by the Historical Society, and is not government funded. Our visit was on 12-02-2018, admission for adults is $8/each, and $6 for seniors.
On July 1, 1876, the first seven inmates entered the Territorial Prison at Yuma and were locked into the new cells, that they had built for themselves. Can you imagine what that must have emotionally felt like?
A total of 3,069 prisoners, including 29 women, lived within the walls during the prison's 33 years of operation. It was closed in 1909.
The experience of being in a place that must have been so painful, hot, isolated and depressing to endure in real life was very powerful,......adding humor to the adventure helped process it all,....

OJiM (Our Journey In Myles) is a channel for fun, sharing and exploring the wonders of Full Time RV Life,…... together with you. Sue & I are not RV or RV Travel experts, and are learning as we go along in our RV Living. We are willing to share our RV Newbie experiences and what works for us as a couple in our Class A Motorhome we have named “Myles." We encourage you to do your own research, and to develop your own special style, whether it be in a Travel Trailer or a 5th Wheel. We will never be an expert on any subject, but will document the RV Tips & Tricks we learn from our experiences along the way for you to judge. We started our journey in miles by learning from many RV Vloggers that we still subscribe to today. We hope that you will consider subscribing to our channel to see what we did in each of the states we have visited already, to help you better plan what to do when you get there on your adventure!
