Old Prison of Trois-Rivières (Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada) 

Jean Pascal Leblanc writes to tell me of this delightful little prison:  “In the city of Trois-Rivières, Québec. the museum there makes it possible to stay a night in the old local jail. It was the longest opened jail in North America – closed in 1986, it opened before Canadian confederation in like 1822. It still has piss odors in the basement, where the ‘recalcitrant’ were. A tour is guided by an old criminal of the Canadian justice system.”  I shall have to book a stay someday!
