Work Continues On Old Molino Jail
March 5, 2008
Work is continuing at the old Molino jail. Escambia County Road Prison crews worked back on February 15 to literally uncover the jail that had been hidden away in thick brush for several years.
Now the jail has a door, thanks to those county road prisoners.
“It was built by the prisoners,” Molino Mid-County Historic Society President Lil King said. “They are quite accomplished young men and some are already experienced carpenters and masons. I was happy to see the brick over the door put in; it gives a ‘finished’ look.”
The next step is the repair of the roof, King said. It will be removed from the building and repaired by the county road prison carpenters.
King hopes the old jail will be available for school tours before the end of the school year.
The county road prison crews have dubbed the old Molino jail as their “Camp One.”
