A new documentary about the oldest prison west of the Mississippi River will have its TV premiere at 8 p.m. Sunday (April 8) on WQPT, the Quad-Cities PBS station, and is available on DVD.
Humanities Iowa partnered with Washington, D.C.-based filmmaker Dan Manatt on the hourlong film, “The Fort: 177 Years of Crime & Punishment at the Iowa State Penitentiary,” which had its theatrical premiere in Fort Madison, 96 miles south of Davenport on the Mississippi River, last October.
The penitentiary was included on Preservation Iowa’s “Most Endangered” list in 2016.
