Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, 
a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers.
Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world’s first true “penitentiary,” 
a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of convicts.
Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America’s most notorious criminals, 
including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and Al Capone. The prison is currently a U.S. National Historic 
Landmark, Located at 2027 Fairmount Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19130 which is open to the public as a museum for tours 
seven days a week, twelve months a year 10 am to 5 pm.
