Eastern State Penitentiary
Check out a lesser known piece of history! The Eastern State Penitentiary is a former American prison that was operational from 1829 until 1971. It is 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 prisoners, like Al Capone!
