Gleeson Jail, Historic jail structure in Gleeson, United States.
The concrete jail building contains two cells connected by a central cage, with reinforced walls incorporating railroad ties and steel bars.
Built in 1910 for $1,778, this jail replaced a wooden structure and an oak tree where prisoners were previously chained with metal cables.
Deputy Wesley Wooten Cates, who served as Gleeson's constable after his time in the Texas Rangers, convinced the county to construct this facility.
Visitors can explore the jail on the first Saturday of each month or schedule appointments by calling 520-609-3549 for guided tours.
The restoration team preserved a section of unfilled floor to display the original railroad rail used in the building's construction.
