Old Paso Robles City Jail 1964

January 1, 2008 – 6:36 pm

1964

Here is something new for you dedicated viewers in Paso Robles. This was labeled City Jail and in a 1964 box.
I suspect the Mail Pouch billboard was painted on after this jail was out of business. Perhaps the county is missing an opportunity by not having a sponsor for today’s jail. They sell naming rights to stadiums and halls why not jails? ☺
I don’t have much information on this other than what is on the sign. Anyone know if this is still around?

I was reading about the jail and found this on the Paso Robles USA site - I don’t know if its the same building but it kind of looks like it.
