History Walk Marker in St. Augustine, St. Johns County, Florida
Convict cages housed prisoners at night in a well ventilated, safe, and comfortable camp. The portable jails pulled by mules moved workers from one road work site to another.
The interior included bunks, heater, vent flu, and a toilet.
Other options for housing convicts working on the “chain gangs” was the use of rail cars, and tool sheds near the job sites.
That is crazy. To even have advertising to sell them is a what? What an amazing find Alice
