everyone back up.

used for ghost tours.

primitive and outdated. The prison closed after a fire that killed over 200 people.

victims of the abuse that went on in the jail still haunt the halls.
 Philadelphia Eastern State Penitentiary- Built in 1856

This prison has a long line of abuse and misfortune in its history. The prison was abandoned in 1923 and

for inmates. In its short time as a prison there was never a single break out.

Eastern State mental hospital/ prison- built in 1820

prison. The inmates were all convicts with mental illness and they thought that the best way to help
them and to keep other safe, was to distance them from each other. Because of prolonged isolation,
many inmates suffer from hallucinations and many ended up taking their own lives.
