Happy Thanksgiving Whisperers! We're back to finally tell you about our experience at the Colorado Museum of Prisons, where we had our very first ghost hunt. We're also going to tell you the spooky history of the prison and share with you the stories of some of its most notorious prisoners. 

This episode is dedicated to the memory of the Club Q victims. 

This episode mentions suicide and gun violence. Listener discretion is advised.

One of seven prisons in Canon City, Colorado, the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility has housed thousands of prisoners since it opened when Colorado was still a territory on January 13th, 1871. At one point, Canon City had the highest per capita prison rate in the world, earning it the well-deserved nickname of "Prison City." Today, a towering stone wall topped with menacing curls of barbed wire separates the active prison, which is prepared to hold up to 930 inmates, and the Mediterranean-inspired building that has become the Colorado Museum of Prisons, which was once the Colorado Women's Correctional Institution.
