About East­ern State Pen­i­ten­tiary East­ern State Pen­i­ten­tiary was once the most famous and expen­sive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunt­ing world of crum­bling cell­blocks and empty guard tow­ers. Known for its grand archi­tec­ture and strict dis­ci­pline, this was the world’s first true “pen­i­ten­tiary,” a prison designed to inspire pen­i­tence, or true regret, in the hearts of con­victs. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America’s most noto­ri­ous crim­i­nals, includ­ing bank rob­ber “Slick Willie” Sut­ton and Al Capone.
