Item Description

Eastern State Penitentiary -  Six (6) daytime passes. Explore America’s Most Historic Prison.  The Eastern State Penitentiary, also known as ESP, is a former American prison in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. It is located in the Fairmount section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971. The penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail, which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment.

Notorious criminals such as Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton were held inside its innovative wagon wheel design. James Bruno (Big Joe) and several male relatives were incarcerated here between 1936-1948 for the alleged murders in the Kelayres Massacre of 1934, before they were pardoned. At its completion, the building was the largest and most expensive public structure ever erected, and quickly became a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide

The prison is currently a U.S. National Historic Landmark which is open to the public as a museum for tours seven days a week, twelve months a year.
