Description

Most of the people who got tossed in this squat little prison were sailors who had downed one too many drinks while on shore leave. It was not a pleasant spot to sleep off a drunk, either; locals called it Hale Pa'ahao or "stuck in irons." These days, anyone can enter—and exit—this historical building at will. This is a Lahaina Restoration Foundation site, and while there is no charge to enter, donations are appreciated.
