jail wagon

jail wagon, originally uploaded by captjackcracker.

this beauty was used to transport criminals through the streets of Charleston. IE from court to jail to a date with the hangman. A long drop with a short stop! back then this was big entertainment and after seeing this kind of real life drama didn't want to make you CHANGE your ways and walk the straight and narrow. i think nothing would. perhaps that's why many pirates went from port to port. to avoid a ride in the jail wagon arrrrrrrr!!
