CY

Arizona State Parks strongly believes that social media is a tool for consumers and communities to receive updates. We encourage interaction and discussion on any of our posts. We believe firmly that social media must be a safe space for all participants to engage in full and fair dialogue. All posters are encouraged to agree or disagree on any positions on any of our social media outlets. We remind individuals who post, that children, youth and families have access to all of these posts and we want to maximize participation that is free from intimidation or bullying. Name-calling, intimidation or bullying of other social media participants will never be tolerated. Abusive, excessively disruptive and harassing posts will also be considered prohibitive of the fair and safe space we intend to maintain. Posts with unrelated information or political agendas will be removed. We will monitor communications and take appropriate action in order to ensure that these policies are consistently adhered to.

Once considered one of the most notorious prisons in the West, Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park preserves the history of law and order in Arizona’s territorial past. Today, visitors can walk the grounds, explore original cell blocks, and take in sweeping views of the Colorado River. With exhibits on inmate stories, the prison cemetery, and its notorious dark cell used for solitary confinement, some come here for the history but others come for the chilling atmosphere left behind. Think this is the spookiest spot in the U.S.? Vote for it as Best Haunted Destination at https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/yuma-territorial-prison-state-historic-park-yuma-arizona/.
