Former Governor of Utah, Gary Herbert speaks at the start of demolition at the old Utah State Prison site in Draper, Utah November 29, 2022. (Aimee Cobabe/KSL Newsradio) (Aimee Cobabe/KSL Newsradio) DRAPER, Utah —Demolition began on Tuesday at the site of the old Utah State Prison in Draper. And it started with knocking down the old guard tower.  It took over an hour of nudging with heavy machines to get the guard tower down.  40 minutes later… the tower isn't budging! Decades of standing tall I guess doesn't come down easy! 👀@KSL5TV pic.
