The walls of the jail were four feet thick, two feet of mortared rock, one foot of loose rock and one foot of wood timbers. Later, the cellar was used as an ice house, becauce it stayed so cold all the time - it was like living in a freezer.
You can also barely make out a representation of Joseph Smith sitting at a writing table. The light was not very good for pictures.
One sign at the jail proclaimed that it was a "Temple Jail" because it was here that Joseph Smith recieved some of his most profound revelations.
