The courtyard (right) consists of red brick flooring with red benches placed around the edges along the green hedge that surrounds it. A set of stairs is located on the side of it, facing northern Sixth Street. The bridge of sighs is located above the courtyard, connecting to the old sheriff's residence and jail (below). From the courtyard, black bars can also been seen on some of the back windows of the old courthouse as well as the basement windows of the old sheriff's residence, which are presumably where the jail cells used to be located. The courtyard was the location in which Dr. Cahalan brought his students for years to educate them on Edward Abbey's The Fool's Progress.
