"Rent" a cell in Historic Cell Block A

“Rent” a cell in Historic Cell Block A for a week for only $10!

This fundraiser kept us afloat in 2019 & 2020 and we are grateful!  We have discovered that people think it is fun to “rent” a cell and they appreciate a way to assist the Wyoming Frontier Prison, so we will continue with this program.

If you don’t want to use your real name, you can rent your cell under your alias. We will post a picture of your cell on our Face Book page so you can share it with your friends. Unfortunately, you will not be able to visit your cell.

Thank you for your continued support!
