From one of the cell blocks at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.

 

I am back from my vacation in Philadelphia to see my new nephew. While there I was able to do a little sight-seeing including the amazing ESP. The prison operated from 1829 until the 1970s and was famous not only for some of its former inmates, e.g. Al Capone, but also for its experimental methods in prisoner reform.
