Yuma Territorial Prison State Historical Park is a significant historical site located in Yuma, Arizona, where visitors can explore the remnants of the first prison in the Arizona Territory. The park features original strap iron cells and solitary chambers, providing a glimpse into the lives of inmates, including the notorious stagecoach robber Pearl Hart.
Established in 1876, the prison operated for 33 years before overcrowding necessitated the relocation of inmates to a new facility in Florence, Arizona. Today, the park offers a unique opportunity to learn about the history of law enforcement and incarceration in the region while enjoying the scenic views overlooking the Colorado River.
