About this listen

This week Tori and Tay talked about Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Eastern State was constructed to help with overcrowding and prison reform, and eventually became a live ruin which is now used for education, tours and haunting houses. Sit back, enjoy, and beware of the figures in the dark.
