One of Charleston’s grand old buildings once housed pirates from all over the world as well as the indigent, rambunctious, unruly sailors who needed a time out. The Old City jail was home to those who got in trouble for various crimes from pick pocketing and loitering to not paying taxes. This grim place also held Civil War Union POW’s and prior to the war, imprisoned slaves waiting to be auctioned.
