Established in 1836, the Missouri State Penitentiary stands as one of the oldest and most infamous prisons west of the mighty Mississippi River. Throughout its long and storied history, this formidable institution has housed a cadre of notorious inmates whose deeds have become the stuff of legend. Among its most infamous residents were the likes of bank robber and escape artist John “Jack” R. W. “Black Jack” Barlow, whose audacious crimes and daring escapes captivated the public imagination, as well as James Earl Ray, the man convicted of assassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Their presence alone lent an air of notoriety to the Pr*son, amplifying its already dark reputation.
