The Old City Jail in Charleston, South Carolina, built in 1802, is a historic site known for its harsh conditions and numerous executions, with the last occurring on July 11, 1944, when Albert E. Mungin was hanged for murder. Mungin’s execution marked the end of the jail's role in capital punishment, reflecting racial tensions and legal inequities of the era. The jail closed in 1939 and was later renovated into an event venue, but it remains famous for its morbid reputation.
