Though typical in design for many South Georgia jails of its day, the old Turner County jail is anything but these days. The City of Ashburn repurposed the building as a tourist attraction, and it now houses The Crime and Punishment Museum. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in town.

Hi all,
Unfortunately the Last Meal Cafe is closed. However the museum is still running! To book a tour please call the Chamber of Commerce in advance to make sure we can have a volunteer tour guide there for you! 229-567-9696! Also, the website link has been updated, it’s now http://crimepunishmentmuseum.com/
Thanks, Ashley. I updated the information and the link.
I grew up in
Turner County, just down the road in Sycamore, Ga.
I love this site and look forward to receiving every picture and especially the comments.
Does anyone know if the Last Meal Cafe, is still open in 2011?
