See Kelso Jail, Mojave National Preserve, California
From the mid-1940s to 195, this two-cell strap-steel jail was used to confine drunks and other unruly individuals for a night or two. The jail's original location was west of the Kelso Depot on the far side of Kelbaker Road; the jail's cement pad foundation can still be found there.
The jail was removed from Kelso in 1985, the same year that Union Pacific closed the Kelso Depot. It ended up in the backyard of Ron and Kay Mahoney in Barstow, California. Two decades later, Kay Mahoney donated it to the National Park Service when the Kelso Depot reopened as a visitor center in 2005.
