Friday's inmate of the day sparked the need for change...

Martha Curnutt Casto (c. 1812 - 1887) was sentenced to five years in Missouri State Penitentiary, an all-male prison, in 1843 after murdering her brutally abusive husband, Noah Casto, with an ax while he slept in Barry County, Missouri. Her experience in the Penitentiary roused enough support from political figures in the state to petition for her pardon, which was granted in 1844. The incident drew attention to the fact that an all-female prison was necessary.

It's terrible the events that Martha had to endure while she was at MSP...

While incarcerated, she became pregnant, likely due to sexual abuse.



She gave birth to a daughter, Sarah, inside the prison under brutal conditions, without a doctor's care.

After the birth, Martha and her daughter were pardoned in December 1844, due to a petition from political figures who were appalled by her treatment.

We are getting closer to incarceration at MSP this weekend! Here's our midweek prisoner spotlight!

September 4, 1933, Blanche Caldwell Barrow was received at the Missouri State Penitentiary after being convicted of "Assault with Intent to Kill" for an attack on Platte County Sheriff Holt Coffey.
Blanche was married to Buck Barrow, and together, along with Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, they made up the infamous Barrow Gang.
The gang was hiding out in a Platte City motel when the sheriff was alerted to their presence.
A shootout ensued and although the gang escaped, Blanche and Buck were captured several days later. Buck died shortly thereafter, but Blanche was held accountable for her role in the crime. Blanche was shot in her face, which blinded her in her left eye. A conditional commutation freed her from MSP in 1939.

Those who don't know of Blanche, she was the sister-in-law of Clyde, from the infamous Bonnie and Cyde gang!

As investigators, every investigation should be more than just gathering evidence—it should challenge us to grow, to learn, and to connect. The goal isn’t only to validate the existence of the paranormal, but also to make a difference—whether that’s bringing awareness to a location’s history, offering understanding to those who have had unexplained experiences, or showing respect to the spirits that may linger.

Challenging ourselves means asking:
• Are we approaching each investigation with respect and intention?
• Are we helping preserve or share the history of this location?
• Are we giving the spirits—if present—a chance to be heard and acknowledged?
• Are we pushing ourselves to improve our methods and open our minds further?

If we can answer “yes” to these, then we’re not only making a difference, but also honoring the deeper purpose of what we do.

Day two of our inmate spotlight!

Kate Richards O'Hare

“The average length of a prison term for a woman convict in MSP is about two years and the amount of labor demanded is just about sufficient to wear the average woman out and send her forth a wreck, only fit for the human scrapheap in two years.” Kate wrote in her memoir.

A prominent suffragist and activist, O'Hare was imprisoned for her anti-war stance during World War I and served time at the penitentiary, which helped lead to reforms in inmate labor.
