This sign is in the prison museum here in Yuma, Arizona. Tolerance/schmolerance, those guys were tough. The restored Yuma Territorial Prison looks like a pretty scary place to have been stuck.

The museum had some of their crimes listed, like, “one year for selling liquour to an Indian”

The cells too, have blackened ceilings from when the abandoned prison housed Depression families who were otherwise homeless. Kind of puts the current economic doom into perspective.

The restoration of the Colorado River here is very heartening. Incredible project of trying to rectify the previous degradations on the habitat. Now if I could just find a place to put my recycling in this town…
