In the middle of the nineteenth century, San Diego decided that if it were to be considered a civilized area, it needed a jail. The first jail was a 20x50-foot room built from cobblestones in what is now Old Town San Diego State Historic Park.

Thank god inmates can't just dig out of jail these days!
Jim, What an interesting story. I love hearing the history of places.
That's a nice little bit of trivia and interesting as I'm sure many of us have heard of Judge Roy Bean.
Sue of Robin and Sue
Wow -- This is very interesting. I love stories like this one.
Wow, Jim, I did not know of this. I thought Judge Roy Bean was just another movie character. I love all this history in San Diego.
One of my favorite roles for Paul Newman. Thanks for the info.
Hey Jim, that is very interesting. I've been to the saloon where Judge Roy Bean presided, its not much bigger than the room you described.
Jim, that is an interesting note of history!
Jim, now you need to tell us why was he in Jail? What was the crime? Can not wait to hear the answer.
Hello Jim - Great trivia. I hope y'all are having a great evening!
Jim,
Old Town is one of our favorite locations in SD. The food and atmosphere are great.

I guess Roy Bean learned a bit about how NOT to jail someone from his experience.
Hey, everyone!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I'm trying to follow up on these older posts like this one to see if anyone had any questions or if I really need to respond to anyone's comments.
I will read all the comments and respond to any that need a response, but since this post is rather old, rather than making comments here in my post to each and every one of you, I'll just let everyone know that I have read all the comments and if there are any questions, I'll answer those in comments below this one. Otherwise I'll simply post this comment and then head over to your blogs soon to visit and do some reading and commenting. I hope you'll have a nice welcome mat out for me!
Don't forget to let your cat come out to play with all the other ActiveRain kitties. Your cat-friendly dogs can come, too!
If you need a great cat book, get yourself a copy of Peg Silloway's The Cat Lover's Book of Days.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Endre - Public drunkenness. Not surprising, I guess, for the time period.
