Wyoming Frontier Prison, Rawlins, Wyoming Fascinating inmates included Annie Bruce, who killed her father with a strychnine-laced plum pie in 1907, and Henry Edmundson, eventually pardoned by the governor because his behavior was so bad he wanted him out of the state. Now, tours take visitors down cell-lined corridors and around grounds including the prison cemetery, while telling tales of prison escapes and the 1912 uprising, when inmates set fire to the broom factory in protest at poor conditions. Check here for updates and for the winter tour schedule.
