Mother Jones Prison, also known as Mrs. Carney's Boarding House, was located at Pratt, Kanawha County, West Virginia. It was a large two-story structure constructed by the Willis Brothers and used mostly as a boarding house. It was the "prison" in which labor organizer and agitator Mary Harris "Mother" Jones was detained during the 1912–1913 mine wars.[2]
The building was a National Historic Landmark. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. However, it was delisted in 1997 after being demolished in 1996.[3]
