Eastern State Penitentiary
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Opening on October 23rd, 1829 Eastern State Penitentiary was designed to create genuine penitence and regret in a criminal's heart. Believing that crime was the result of environment, the 7 cell block prison was entirely made up of prisoners in solitary confinement. In 1971 badly in need of expensive repairs and upgrades the prison was closed. Today the prison offers tours of several restored cellblocks, but unfortunately this one is off limits.
