Description

Visit the world's first true penitentiary, a prison designed to inspire penitence - or true regret - in the hearts of criminals.  Its vaulted, sky-kite cells held many of America's most notorious criminals, including bank robber "Slick Willie" Sutton and "Scarface" Al Capone.  The Philadelphia prison stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and a surprising, eerie beauty.  Not valid for private tours or promotional events.  Not recommended for children under the age of seven.  Expires March 31, 2012.

This is a Live Event Item.
