1909 Prison Reformatory Jeffersonville Indiana Vintage Postcard

1909. The first Indiana State Prison. In 1897, as a result of the penological reform movement prevalent at that time, the Jeffersonville facility was designated as the Indiana Reformatory. In 1918, a fire destroyed a significant portion of the Reformatory in Jeffersonville resulting in the Legislature passing a bill in 1921 to relocate the facility. This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
