Al Capone Cell

This is the door to Al Capones cell at Eastern State Pernitentiary in Philadelphia, Pa. In 1929, law enforcer Elliot Ness started his investigation into Capone for his involvement in Chicago. Capone had it arranged for him to be arrested and Eastern State is where he ended up for 9 months. The cell looks today as it did back then. Capone had connestions so he had full furnishings along with a desk, nice bed, living room chair, and a radio.
