Guests are guided through Housing Unit 1 (Control Center) and A-Hall, the dungeon cells, the Upper Yard, Housing Unit 3, and the gas chamber. Our guide will shed light on the history of both the prison and the U.S. penal eras, including the prison’s famous inmates, the Riot of 1954, and escape attempts.
