Folsom Prison Museum


I went to jail.

Of my own volition.

Folsom State Prison is famous.

The live album At Folsom Prison was recorded here by Johnny Cash.



His 1968 concerts for prisoners helped ease their "Folsom Prison Blues".



As well as turn Cash's career around after years of drug abuse.


Their hoots and hollers only add to the character of this bestselling album.



The Folsom Prison Museum contains some memorabilia.




A short video provides a glimpse into life at "Old Folsom".



"...That lonesome whistle...



Blow my blues away."
