![]() Insider Tip: Today you can dine at Jack and Charlie's, an upscale restaurant. It still stands today though not used as a jail. In 1916, it was torn down and new jail built, using the existing walls and basement. He and 2 other inmates broke out just a year after the jail was built. Train robber Gratton Dalton was jailed here, though not for long. However, more attention was paid to how it looked rather than how it worked. The original jail was built in 1890 and Visalia was proud of the beautiful building. (If you need a hint, we have a map available.) Look carefully at the original granite curbing around downtown to see the reminders of days when a horse was your Uber driver.
