One of my travels I end in this amazing place, I strongly recommend to
visit, one of the coolest places I been too.
Its been abandoned for over 40 years and now is open to the public, people says is hunted and several movies are filmed there.
If have the chance to visit Philadelphia don't think it twice and go there, the place is very dark so you are going to need a tripod, they charge you $10 to shoot with it, but the permit last one year.
Please enjoy my pictures.
About this place :
The Eastern State Penitentiary, also known as ESP, is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[5] It was located at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount
section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971. The
penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration
first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment.[6]
Notorious criminals such as bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone
were held inside its innovative wagon wheel design. At its completion,
the building was the largest and most expensive public structure ever
erected, and quickly became a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide.
The prison is currently a U.S. National Historic Landmark
