I grew up in Philly and passed Eastern State everday on my way to high school. Back then it was just a big question mark. I had a neighbor that worked as a CO there. In 1990 I became an officer for the AZDOC and will be retiring soon from MNDOC. I've been back to Philly and Eastern State many times. It's a rich history. Thanks for the video.
I've lived for a few years on Pennsylvania Ave, a short walk from the penitentiary and drive by it on my way to work every day. Never had an interest to go on a tour of a prison. Well, now I know what's inside. Thanks for this.
"Willie Sutton" bank robber escaped from this prison and also made it up over the walls at "Holmesburg" prison with a ladder..Stick-man.. Philadelphia memories from the past..😮
A terrific video. Eastern State is definitely on my bucket list.

You’re welcome! Although I don’t know how you could live so close and not see what’s inside those walls!
My grand father was a guard here back in the day
That’s so cool! I hope you’ve heard a few stories!
Dope!!! Any good stories?
@@dididhbdde6571 yes!

Hi Fadra, it looks scary inside
A little run down but not too scary. I would imagine the night tours and terror programs would be a different story!
How long do you think the tour could be? I live about 3 hours and in willing to drive.
When I went, it was a self-guided tour that could comfortably done in 2 hours but I’d allow more time if you have it!
No time limit once ur in u can walk around on the audio tour or on ur own path and just read things on walls and signs!
I would love to tour it but got no one to go with t u
Ur never alone inside there always an energy walking with u
If. I go alone I be really scared I don't think I can handle being alone but thanks for comment
