convicts were held in the county

factory from every standpoint.
In 1877 the legislature passed .
law authorizing the governor to
contract with a responsible per-
son to construct penitentiary
in Thurston county to care for
state prisoners for six years
This was only a little
more than fifty years ago,
hut the bill also provided
that desperate" prisoners
should wear shackles riveted
to their legs or arms and 10

imprisonment.
Under this authority Gov. Fer
ry contracted with William Bill
lings Of Olympia to build a pen.
itentiary at Seatco, now Bucoda.
The building was constructed OF
planks spiked together and two
stories high. The only entrance
was by a stairway to the second
floor. In the lower story where
the cells We're situated there
were no openings. The second
story was occupied by the
guards.
The contractor made part
OF his profit by working the
prisoners In a sash and door
factory. To reduce the ex-

pris ners worked with
shackles riveted to their
legs. s..s..
This system, copied from the
dark ages, was in use until
1886 when the legislature
authorized construction of the
penitentiary at Walla Walla.
The Seatco prison was known
as one of the worst in the
Northwest. After its abandon
ment the building stood for
years as reminder of a dark
spot in the history of the ter
ritory. The shackles had dis
appeared but in the walls of the
dark cells were the ring bolts
to which the shackle chains
were padlocked at night when
the prisoner was allowed to get
what comfort he could out of
sleeping on the floor.
