Gothic Hanging Jail in Louisiana back open for tours

Gothic Hanging Jail in Louisiana back open for tours April 25, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail DERIDDER, La. (AP) A century-old Louisiana jail called the Gothic Hanging Jail is back open for tours, except when it’s raining. The Beauregard Parish Tourist Commission had halted daytime and lantern tours of the 107-year-old jail with a third-floor gallows because of the coronavirus pandemic and damage from hurricanes Laura and Delta. Because of roof and concrete damage done to the jail, we will have to cancel tours on rainy days or nights,” Beauregard Parish Tourist Commission Executive Director Lori Darbonne told The American Press. The concrete jail with walls 1 foot (0.30 meter) thick opened in 1914. Its gallows was used only on March 9, 1928, for two men who had robbed and killed a taxi driver, according to an article in the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities publication “64 Parishes.” .
