The Eastern State Penitentiary is considered one of America's most historic former prisons open from 1829-1971 and is considered to be the world's first true penitentiary. The facility has been kept in "preserved ruin", meaning no significant attempts have been made at renovations or upkeep.

This is a typical cell. Originally built to house one inmate to a cell, overcrowding would sometimes see four inmates to one of these cells.
