Penitenciaría Estatal Eastern

La penitenciaría fue un experimento social del siglo XIX que se basó en los principios cuáqueros. La regla principal era que los prisioneros se encontrarán absolutamente recluidos para que pudieran emplear su tiempo rezando, pensando y cumpliendo penitencia. De hecho, la soledad destruyó a muchos y finalmente la superpoblación impulsó una miseria que ya no buscaba ninguna clase de reforma. Finalmente, la prisión fue clausurada en la década de 1970. El grado de infamia que se vivió en la Penitenciaría Estatal Eastern hacía que Alcatraz fuera juego de niños. Algunos de los prisioneros que moraron entre estos muros fueron el criminal Al Capone y el ladrón de bancos Willie Horton. Aunque la prisión hoy está totalmente derruida, sentirán escalofríos cuando contemplen las celdas abovedadas y la rotonda central.
