Os funcionários são demais de atenciosos e explicam tudo... o museu é gratuito e mostra a realidade de como funciona o sistema penitenciário do país.
little museum,just 2 floors.The most interesting things , in my opinion , are the gears the men succeeded in making in the jail.Lots of stuf ready to kill the policeman or usefull to escape.To be seen.Easy to find and parking place in fron of the museum.
Well worth a visit! I have a morbid fascination with all things prison and was not disappointed! Helpful, friendly and well informed staff made it an interesting visit. Would recommend if in the area!
A very informative display pertaining to history of Kingston Penitentiary. Former guards were very keen to answer questions.
We went during the week and found that this museum was very interesting. Past prison guards where there a guides and had some very real stories to tell. Children would not be interested. It was part of our sites to see and we were not disappointed.
Went on the trolley tour and got off at this stop. We were not disappointed, very interesting and informative.The original gents and ladies prison are now closed. But, the museum gives a good insight as to what it would have been like.Definatley Worth a visit
We really enjoyed our little visit to his museum. We found the displays to be interesting. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the cost is by donation only. Interesting to see how times and things have changed over the years.
it is great for anyone curious on the prison system to see the history! They have real cells and even weapons and things the inmates made that has been donated. A must see for true crime buffs!
Museum is located directly across from the recently closed Kingston Pen. There are two floors to the museum (not sure if it's accessible for those with physical challenges...call ahead).Each room is complete with information about the prison systems of Kingston Pen as well as other prison systems. Each room has a former prison guard available for explanations and questions. There are artifacts a plenty and they paint a picture of the lives of prisoners, there vices and even their artistic talents. The museum causes the viewer to reflect on a the harsh and even softness of human spirit. Appropriate for teenagers but judge accordingly for younger viewers. Admission is by donation only.
Nice little museum. We expected it to be bigger, with hopes that we could secure a tour of the building behind which we thought was residence.Because it was so small, I wouldn't recommend going on Saturdays, especially on a rainy day! It was so packed!!There was a little bit to see, I wished for more stories, more historical artifacts. The museum is actually the old warden ' house. There was a little bit of everything. Great place to pop in during the week.
