Eastern State Penitentiary - 707

Today, Eastern State Penitentiary is best known as a museum which strives to educate the public on the criminal justice system, but it was once considered one of the most revolutionary prisons of its time. Built around the ideas of penance, reflection and reform, the prison was designed to keep inmates in solitary confinement in the hope that they would reflect on their crimes and change their ways. And over the years, it housed infamous criminals, including Chicago gangster Al Capone and notorious bank robber Willie Sutton. But there are also accounts of paranormal activity. In this episode we will be talking about the prison and its history.Connect With Us Website: genwhypod.com Instagram: @generationwhypodcast Facebook: facebook.com/thegenerationwhypodcast TikTok: @genwhypod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thegenerationwhypodcastSupport the Show For special episodes, outtakes, and more from Justin & Aaron, visit: patreon.com/generationwhyAudible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Generation Why ad-free right now.
