WHO WILL YOU BAIL OUT?

Will you listen to their stories?
Will you decide who deserves another chance?
And most importantly… WHO WILL YOU BAIL OUT? 💰
NIGHTS AT THE MUSEUM: THE GREAT BAILOUT!
One last chance to change the verdict.
Join us Saturday nights in August — August 8, 15, 22 & 29 from 6–9 PM at the Yuma Territorial Prison.
Walk the cells. Hear their stories. Cast your vote. Enjoy cold b**r and specialty cocktails, including our Bail Bond Bellini.

Join us for the Prison Barbershop Exhibit Opening Ceremony on Wed, Jan 21st at 10am at the Yuma Territorial Prison!

In the late 1800s, prison barbers often doubled as dentists, earning the title, Barber Surgeon. At the Yuma Territorial Prison, inmates—from burglars to murderers—were trained to pull teeth and cut hair for fellow prisoners. Killer Cuts, indeed.

In celebration of the Yuma Territorial Prison’s 150th Anniversary, we proudly unveil the new Prison Barbershop Exhibit. Kindly join us on Wednesday, January 21st at 10:00 am for the opening ceremony. A special musical presentation will be performed by the Yuma Barbershop Harmony Chorus. See you in Prison!

*Regular admission applies.
