The DeRidder Jail, known as the Gothic "Hanging" Jail, has an interesting history. Built in 1914, the jail was unique in that it was one of the first jails to include a shower, toilet, and window in every cell. In 1928, two men were found guilty of murdering a cab driver and were hanged for their crimes. While the jail isn’t in use today, some believe that the spirits of some of the inmates remain. You can take a tour of the jail, and this Halloween season they are doing a "Gothic Jail After Dark" which isn’t for the faint of heart.
