Information

Seeing and reading about the Eastern State Penitentiary virtually should help promote citizens to stay away from prisons and crimes. Learning and visiting about prisons and the truth of life behind bars is important for kids who are actively exposed to violence and crimes. The experience of feeling the darkness of a penitentiary or prison will hopefully encourage people, teens, and kids to stay away from violence as best they can.
