Debtors' Prison, Prison building in Virginia, United States.
The Debtors' Prison features rustic architecture with thick stone walls, small windows, and basic structural elements characteristic of early American institutional buildings.
Built during a period when unpaid debts resulted in imprisonment, this structure held individuals who failed to meet their financial obligations until the 1800s.
The prison represents the social and legal practices of colonial America, when imprisonment for debt was a standard method of handling financial disputes.
The National Park Service maintains this historic site, which offers guided tours from Tuesday through Saturday between April and November each year.
The prison's interior contains original metal bars, wooden benches, and stone floors that demonstrate the conditions faced by individuals detained for financial matters.
