Using archival photographs and diagrams, author Tobin T. Buhk will lead a guided tour of Michigan’s historic jails. Resembling ornate stately homes from the exterior, learn about those who worked in the estates and those detained within, including the first female sheriffs in Michigan history; the Capone trigger-man who terrified his captors; the cook who refuses to leave her kitchen and on occasion makes her ghostly presence seen and felt; an inventive sheriff who turned road-K*ll into cuisine; the pair of chicken thieves who escaped from Kent County’s inescapable jail; and others. Sponsored by Friends of the Library.
