Eastern State Penitentiary - Part 3 - Cellblocks

Here is a collection of images that showcase several of the prison cells.

ESP was constructed with a hub-and-spoke architecture where the cellblock hallways extend radially outward from a central command center with its associated watchtower.

For all the entropy that has ravaged this penitentiary, I find it interesting how well the porcelain toilets have endured!
