With only a couple of stories to help guide the investigation and even fewer firsthand accounts of what happened inside the prison, the guys refer to this lockdown as a "blind location,” hoping to uncover facts that no one else has discovered.

This electric chair -- Old Sparky -- sits untouched in the Texas Prison Museum. It executed 361 prisoners between the years 1924 and 1964.

The guys first learn about the history of the prison from historian Bruce Kelly, who provides the backstory of the plantation that stood on the land in the 1800s before the prison was built.
