YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The last place you would expect to find a speakeasy: Prison.

The Yuma Territorial Prison hosted Speakeasy Night Saturday, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and there was live music, drinks and all kinds of outlaw charm for locals to enjoy.

Tickets were $15, with all funds going towards the Yuma Territorial Prison in celebration of its 150th anniversary.

"We are so happy to have such a great crowd, and everyone just showed up with the 1920s vibe, perfectly dressed for a gala here in prison...We just thank everyone for coming out and enjoying a cocktail with us," said Yanna Kruse, Manager of the Yuma Territorial Prison.

The prison says this will be the first of many speakeasies celebrating the Prohibition Era.
