HISTORICAL NOTE

The Texas State Penitentiary at Huntsville, established in 1848, is the oldest prison in Texas. During the mid-to-late 1800s, it was the central hub for justice in the Lone Star State. Heavy iron ball-and-chain restraints were standard issue for work crews and high-security inmates, designed by local blacksmiths to be impossible to pick or break.
