More about Eastern State Penitentiary

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.

Eastern State Penitentiary is open every day, 10 am to 5 pm. Admission includes "The Voices of Eastern State" Audio Tours, guided tours, Hands-On History interactive experiences, and a critically acclaimed series of artist installations. For more information, visit http://www.easternstate.org/home
