==Early history==
The Missouri State Penitentiary was constructed in the early 1830s to serve the newly admitted state of Missouri. Jefferson City had been designated the state capital in 1822, and Governor John Miller suggested that the state's main prison be constructed there, to help the city maintain its somewhat tenuous status against other towns trying to obtain the capitol for themselves.〔(The History of MSP ), from the website on the penitentiary operated by the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau. Retrieved on 2010-02-05.〕 James Dunnica, a master stonemason who built the first Capitol building in Jefferson City in 1826, was appointed to oversee construction of the new prison, and $25,000 was allotted by the legislature for expenses.〔 The facility opened for business in March 1836, the same month as the fall of the Alamo in Texas.
Prisoners were employed during the 1830s in making bricks; the initial prison population consisted of one guard, one warden, fifteen prisoners, and a foreman for the brick-making operation with an assistant. Eleven of the fifteen prisoners were from St. Louis, and all were incarcerated for larceny except for one, who was imprisoned for stabbing a man during a drunken brawl.〔(Prison Problem in 1836 ), from the website on the penitentiary operated by the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau.
