The Old Montana Prison Complex in Deer Lodge is a fascinating place to explore. Once the site of the Montana State Prison (and before that, the Montana Territorial Prison), it’s filled with history… and possibly more than that. If you’re feeling brave, you can take a ghost tour and see for yourself if the prisoners ever left.

The Old Montana Prison Complex is located at 1106 Main St. in Deer Lodge.

The prison itself dates all the way back to 1871, although the current structure was built between 1974 and 1979 in response to the continued degeneration of the original facility.

sixteencmg / TripAdvisor The system of managing inmates at the Montana Territorial Prison wasn’t a fun one. Prisoners worked in groups during the day, slept in solitary confinement at night, and adhered to a strict code of silence. Of course, this method was doomed to fail.

Intolerable living conditions and mismanagement eventually led to three major riots.
