Field Trip to Courtroom




We went to Judge Parker's courtroom. I got to see the jail and his courtroom. I got to sit in his chair. I learned all about Judge Issac C. Parker. In the jail the beds are kinda like beanbags on hard floor. Our tour guide said it used to be dirt floor. Their bathrooms were 3 little buckets. We got to see the gallows. I saw the trap door where they hang them by the neck. When they open the trap door they fall and snap their neck. I wanted to buy a wooden gun but it is fake and my mom wouldn't let me buy it. Right now as my mom types this in she sometimes does it with her eyes closed. It's weird.
