Movie and TV Walking Tour of Old Joliet Pr*son

Located about 30 miles outside Chicago, Old Joliet Pr*son has served for years as an Illinois state penitentiary and a movie set. Learn more about the Pr*son's double histories on this two-hour (mostly) outdoor walking tour.

On the 1.25-mile guided tour, wander through the former correctional center's barbed-wire gates and imposing 19th-century fortress-style walls. While inside, experience firsthand the Pr*son's sally ports, cellblocks, chapel, cafeteria, yard, and solitary confinement.

Finally, take a seat in the darkened gymnasium to hear about Hollywood's century-long relationship with Old Joliet Pr*son, including cinema's role in Illinois Pr*son reform.
