Description Suggest change

Once again, the crux is low. 

About the name: There are at least three prisons in Northeast Kansas with the name Leavenworth in their title. The one we have in mind is the U.S. Federal Penitentiary. It began as a military prison in 1875 and became the largest maximum security prison until 2005 when it was downgraded to medium security. Here you might find bank robbers, spies, corrupt public officials, gangsters and, of course, violent criminals. Some notable inmates include “Machine Gun Kelly”, Tom Pendergast, James Earl Ray, Michael Vick, and Robert Stroud  - who later gained fame as the birdman of Alcatraz.

Location Suggest change

There is a large red maple which shades the North end of the Prison wall. Leavenworth is the closest route to this tree. San Quentin is on the left and Chateau d’If is on the right.

Protection Suggest change

9 bolts plus mussy hooks
