I’m leaving tomorrow to document calabooses in Goree (Knox County) and Rochester (Haskell County) and a metal cage or cell in Knox City (Knox County).  Hopefully, I will find one I am not aware of.  I am constantly amazed at how many people in small towns do not know there is a calaboose where they live.  I was told by a city official in Rochester that there is no jail in that town.  I explained that the jails I am looking for are very small and have not been used as such for many years.  When I described the one at the water plant I was told that it was their storage building.  Actually, it is a very good example of a calaboose and I am anxious to see it in person.
