Old Joliet Prison

We did a self guided tour and spent about two hours wandering around the property. All of the buildings were well marked and there were informational signs at every building with the history of each. We had a wonderful time walking through! The ladies at the front desk were super friendly, informative and helpful, as were the gentlemen at the front gate. We loved the experience!

For the outstanding members of the community!!! The basic tour doesn't let you see the Blues Brothers cell. I was fortunate to tag along a group guided tour which visited the cell in a special tour. I recommend them to open more areas for basic tour viewing. Its still is a pretty cool place to visit.

Just amazing to see. You do not need to go inside to get an experience. You can feel it looking at the guard towers and entrance. I was lucky to drone it and see inside. So historic.
