Description
Located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Pottawattamie Squirrel Cage Jail is a National Register of Historic Places landmark. Erected in 1885, it is one of only three rotary jails still in existence today. In Squirrel Cage Jail, author S. M. Senden relates the history of the iconic Squirrel Cage jail, from its construction and operation to its closing in 1969 and subsequent purchase by the Council Bluffs park board for preservation in 1971. According to Senden, preservation wasn't easy and was ultimately buoyed by a fundraising effort led by the local historical society. Senden also highlights local criminals as well as some of the jail's more infamous prisoners and shares local folklore relating to the jail's reputation for being haunted. She says, "I hope readers will be spellbound by one of the most fascinating and haunting places in Iowa." Squirrel Cage Jail is available for purchase online at Amazon.
