Dear Mr.....

Dear Mr. Cannon Rebel,
You came into my life a couple of years ago. You are so good to me. You have every quality I've ever wanted. I love that you let me manipulate and take advantage of you. Why do you have to be so perfect? I don't always like perfect! Aren't you supposed to be a rebel? After all.... that is what your creator named you! I pack you around with me and you never let me down! Why does this bother me? Like I said.... I don't always want perfect! I try taking self portraits and you tell the truth! Why do you have to show all of the fine details? Why can't we just pretend? You know that I am really only 29! Why do you have to show the fine lines? The grey hairs that are creeping into my life and the extra pounds... Can't you just pretend for once? Can't you just make a girl happy? Where is the button that says.... make this person look young and vibrant and age 29?? The truth hurts! Come on! I paid big bucks for you! Give me a little rebel!

Riots

Here are a few more pictures of the Old Idaho Penitentiary from my weekend tour.


In 1870 the first building was construction. Idaho was still a Territory. A few years later a Dining Hall, Commissary, Barber shop, Hospital and Solitary confinement were constructed. Most of the building and the stone wall were built using stone that was cut and transported by the convicts from the Quarry at Table Rock located in the foothills just above the Penitentiary. The Old Idaho Penitentiary is located about 4 miles from downtown Boise. Back in the day.. It was a three day trip from downtown to the Prison.




New Cellhouse built in 1889


House 3 built in 1899- This was designed by the same architect that designed Idaho's Capital building.



Solitary Confinement. I can touch both sides with my arms stretched out. Only light is a tiny hole in the ceiling.


This is one of the newest buildings. When constructed, the average height for men was 5 foot 10. I'm not sure the cell doors are even that tall. This building has four stories of cells.



There was just enough room for two bunks (with grass cotton bags to sleep on) and a honey pot in the corner. There was no electricity in the building. Only daylight through the wall of windows.


In 1973 a riot, which broke out in March, was triggered largely by inmate Larry Trujillo, who charged that he was beaten by guards at the new prison's maximum security site. He was brought to the old site for medical treatment, and when the prison staff attempted to return him to the new prison, a disturbance began. Within three hours, four buildings were set afire, the Dining hall and Chapel were destroyed, and considerable general damage occurred. An official report issued after the riot said Trujillo's injuries were self-inflicted.
All remaining prisoners were transported to the New State Penitentiary located south of Boise.

Bird Shirt

My Cousin, Carma Jean is a prankster. I've mentioned before that when we get together all we do is talk and giggle so hard that we cry... She sent me this shirt for my birthday! I about died laughing when I opened it. She probably laughed just as hard when she ordered it and had shipped to me!
