In 1787, a group of notable Philadelphians set forth a revolutionary vision to reimagine our young nation’s justice system as one rooted in fairness and dignity rather than punishment and retribution. In 1829, Eastern State opened, becoming America’s first penitentiary. From then until 1971, Eastern State Penitentiary saw more than 85,000 people pass through its gates.

Today, its story continues. From the site of America’s first penitentiary, Eastern State forges connections with people across the country and around the world, convening important conversations that deepen our collective understanding of the justice system in America. As a national leader in justice education, Eastern State builds awareness of the past, illuminates the present, and inspires action for a more just future. Visit easternstate.org
