Join author Tobin T. Buhk for a fascinating look inside Michigan’s historic county jails—buildings that appeared elegant from the outside but held surprising stories within.

Using rare archival photos and engaging stories, Buhk brings to life the colorful inmates, bold escapes, ghost sightings, and pioneering figures like Michigan’s first female sheriffs. From notorious criminals to quirky jailhouse tales, this presentation offers a unique glimpse into the hidden world behind bars. Based on the author’s forthcoming book. Join us in person and learn more in detail.
