By the looks of the jail cell door lying nearby in the grass it would seem that the Bodie jail was a formidable structure for housing law-breakers.
Yet the jail itself was a simple wooden building. Murders, shootouts, barroom brawls and the occasional stagecoach holdup were regular occurrences.

that's roughing it. :)
It looks like an old western movie.
The door looks tough to break through but I wonder if someone could have pulled the hinges of the wooden door frame using ropes and horses.
It does not look like great accommodations for prisoners.
Looks like a rough place.
