Exploring Arizona's Most Historic Prison | Yuma Territorial Day Trip

On this day trip down to Yuma, I explore the historic Territorial Prison. Home to over 3,000 inmates throughout its lifetime, the old cell block, the dark cell, and museum tell the story of Arizona's wild and frontier past. On the way home I'll stop for a couple of tasty beverages to round out a quick but fun adventure.
I'll be mixing in some other day trips adventures, hikes, and other things into the rotation of videos as part of my ongoing quest for exploration here in Arizona. I hope you enjoy!

I need to revisit the Yuma prison. It's been at least 20 years & I had forgotten a lot. BTW, a short format is always welcome. Thanks, Scotty.

So awesome that you did a video here in town.

Great trip. I remember my trip to the prison. Lots to see and think about. It would have been a rough place to call "home". BUT, that was the point back then. My son in law was a guard at Florence, certainly not the same type of experience for convicts today...

Enjoyed your video today and many in the past. Prisons should be like this today! I bet there would be ALOT less crime, 🤔!!

I went to Yuma a long time ago in the Summer, 95 at 11:00pm, that's hot!

I had an uncle locked up there way back and I am that old!

That place had to be hell, even for the guards.

I visited the prison in 1961when we temporarily stationed at the marine base there. It was in pretty shape at that time if I remember right but it was very interesting.

Didn’t you watch the video at the prison? The legislature didn’t think Yuma was where it should build the prison instead they wanted it in phoenix. They retired for lunch and the representative from Yuma penciled in Yuma. When they came back, they approved it without reviewing it.
