Ghosts of Eastern State Penitentiary

Built in 1829 by the Quakers of Philadelphia, Eastern State Penitentiary was the first of it's kind.  Designed to keep prisoners isolated so they they could pay "penitence" for their sins, it gave birth to the word "penitentiary".  It was designed like a wagon wheel so that monitoring of the prisoners could be done from the center or hub where the guards were stationed.  The cell blocks sprawled outward from the central hub which housed the prisoners.  Giving the world's prisons this design, it failed in it's initial purpose of reforming the prisoners using isolation, but drove most of them mad.  Each having only a tiny window of light shining down from above.  Many of the tormented souls that spent their lives there and died there still remain.  Read the full story>>
