History
Report
Built in 1905, the Old Marshall Jail was a center for small town Appalachian life until it closed in 2012 making it the longest operating jail in North Carolina history. We invite you to get to know Jeff Bailey and Omar Smith, who proudly told us how they escaped through the ceiling. Imagine Geraldine, the dispatcher, making biscuits in the morning.
