Some of the highlights: the cell blocks, Carter enjoyed the courtyard and the surveillance control room, Pep (the Chocolate Lab incarcerated for killing the Governor's wife's cat in the 1940s), Al Capone's cell, and the art installations.

More from Eastern State Penitentiary
We could feel the rawness and energy of our immediate surroundings once we entered the first cell block on the guided audio tour. Our world changed from present day to the reality the prisoners of the early 1900s to 1960s experienced at ESP with the help of Steve Buscemi narrating the history and retelling personal accounts on audio. So many details about the building and the daily lives of prisoners were shared in such a colorful light through the audio presentation. The building and its history is very intense to say the least!
