Eastern State Penitentiary Trip Photos
DUSLA and DUSAA sponsored a trip to the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia on November 4th, 2013. While there we had a tour of the grounds as well as heard some of the history of the penitentiary from our guide. We also got to see some of the collections in the archive, which included artifacts made by the prisoners and guards.
