Mia Maids get locked up!!

This weeks activity for the Mia Maids was visiting one of Idaho's most historic places... the Old Penitentiary!
We participated in a self guided tour and learned some really neat and interesting facts!  Such as:

* we do not want to be in Solitary Confinement (aka "Siberia"). 

* several inmates tried making weapons with everyday objects

* inmates dug a tunnel to escape but were caught just 6 feet from the prison walls

* the cells are very small and sometimes 4 prisoners would bunk together

* getting tattooed by other inmates was common

* being in prison would be a very sad and lonely life!

* we will use our agency to always choose the right!!

After touring the grounds, we ate our sack dinners just outside the prison walls and talked about how this activity went under both Knowledge AND Choice and Accountability!  It was quite hot (102 degrees) and so on the way home, we stopped for some refreshment at Sonic and all got slushes!
