Yuma Territorial Prison, Former territorial prison in Yuma, United States.
The granite prison cells, guard tower, and museum display artifacts from the correctional facility that operated along the Colorado River from 1876 to 1909.
The prison housed over 3000 inmates during its operation, including Pearl Hart, a woman who gained notoriety for conducting stagecoach robberies in Arizona Territory.
The museum exhibits demonstrate the evolution of the American penal system through photographs, documents, and preserved items from daily prison life in the 19th century.
The park welcomes visitors every day of the year except Christmas, with admission prices of $10 for adults and $5 for children between 7 and 13.
Inmates participated in the construction of their own cells using granite extracted from the surrounding quarry, creating structures that endure to this day.
