Arkansas Prison Collection at the Old State House Museum

In this episode of the Old State House Museum Collections Video Podcast, we take a look at the collection of materials related to the Arkansas prison system and the Department of Correction. The podcast features an interview with the Public Relations Director for the DOC, Dina Tyler. Through the collection housed at the Old State House, we look at the long history of prisons in Arkansas, particularly capital punishment, electric chairs, death masks, and the trustee guard system.
