A calaboose is, quite simply, a tiny jail Designed to house prisoners only for a short time, a calaboose could be anything from an iron cage to a poured concrete blockhouse Easily constructed and more affordable for small communities than a fullsized building, calabooses once dotted the rural landscape Though a relic of a bygone era in law enforcement and no longer in use, many calabooses remain in communities throughout Texas, often hidden in plain sight In The Texas Calaboose and Other Forgotten Jails, William E Moore has compiled the first guidebook to extant calabooses in Texas He explores the history of the calaboose, including its construction, use, and eventual decline, but the heart of the book is in the alphabetically arranged photo tour of calabooses across the state Each entry is accompanied by a vignette describing the unique features of the calaboose at hand, any infamous or otherwise memorable occupant
