One day they tried to hold a birthday party, and when the cake was banned from court, one defendant cried out: "They've arrested your cake!" At one point a defense attorney threw himself across a table and tearfully implored the judge: "Put me in jail, for God's sake, and get me out of this place."

They foresaw that the prison would not only deface the pastoral area but also attract new housing projects for guards and motels for visitors. It was, residents often said, like "leading the pig into the parlor." Architects, historical societies and garden clubs bombarded state and federal officials with indignant letters. If the prison were built, said one, it would be "an affront to the past and an insult to the future." The area around such important houses as Boswell's Tavern, a supposed haunt...
