The Clearmont Jail is a historic jail located on Water Street in Clearmont, Wyoming. The jail was built in 1922, three years after Clearmont's incorporation, to address the growing crime problem in the town. During the 1920s, the jail was mainly used to house drunkards and bootleggers. Once Prohibition was repealed, the nature of crime in Clearmont changed, though by the 1950s the majority of criminals were still disruptive drunkards. By this point, the jail no longer had modern eating or restroom facilities; while this was considered a deterrent to crime by some residents, the jail stopped housing criminals after 1961 nonetheless. The jail is now a local tourist attraction. [2]
The jail was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 14, 1984. [1]

Built in Warrenton in 1808, the sixth jail in Fauquier County, Virginia ran for only fifteen years before a new jail was erected behind it after a lawsuit with the Commonwealth of Virginia. In those fifteen years the four-cell jail saw death and disease from neglectful conditions. Soon after the 1823 jail was constructed, the 1808 jail was transformed into a jailer's house, so that he and his family could move in and care for the prisoners. A two-story sandstone addition was added onto the original brick structure to serve as a kitchen and second floor bedroom. It was operated as a jail until 1966, when the Fauquier Historical Society saved it from demolition and created a museum.
