Description
Moundsville, West Virginia - The West Virginia Penitentiary. The building was constructed in 1866 and closed in 1995 after a court ruled that the prison's 5x7-foot cells were cruel and unusual punishment. The Moundsville Economic Development Council now conducts tours of the facility and corrections officials use it for training purposes.
