Our famous jail cell at 106 S. Harwood Street in Dallas is now part of the UNT-Dallas Law School. This cell became famous when it held Lee Harvey Oswald for nearly 2 full days during his interrogations and line ups immediately following his assassination of President Kennedy.
Oswald was taken out of this cell for transfer to the county jail on November 24, 1963. He only made it to the parking garage before being shot by Jack Ruby. At that point, Ruby was brought up to these jail cells where he was then kept.
