In a corner of Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town sits the town jail, home to Orange County's longest jailed inmate, Sad-Eye Joe. Joseph Nagnapper (his "real" name) was originally thrown in jail for stealing the Ghost Town sheriff's horse - a horse so slow "he almost went backwards," according to Joe. OK, we're kidding. Sad-Eye Joe is a wooden character that sits in the jail. He "talks" to park visitors with the help of an unseen park employee's voice. n fact, those in the know can secretly give Joe's voice the name and other information about visitors so that he can more readily converse with them through the jail window. Walter Knott had the idea for him as an attraction for the Ghost Town he was building next to the popular Chicken Dinner Restaurant. Andy Anderson carved the original wooden figure and in 1940 Sad-Eye Joe was soon chatting it up with people waiting around to get a chicken dinner. Joe and his jail have undergone a few minor changes over the years, "to make sure he stays locked up," says Ghost Town Sheriff Marty Keithley, who also serves as Knott's Berry Farm's General Manager. oe might become a movie star, as Allentown Productions bought the rights in 2009 to make a movie based  on Joe and the other wooden statues seen throughout Ghost Town. In the meantime, Joe stays locked up just like he has been since 1940, making Sad-Eye the longest jailed inmate in Orange County, and Knott's Berry Farm says he is there to stay.
